We need the building envisioned in Project Second Century to continue to be a Church Alive –expanding opportunities for Worship, Education and Discipleship, and Mission and Service • Worship • We welcome nearly 2,000 people over 4 services each Sunday and need more room and better facilities so that we have space that facilitates and enhances our fellowship together. • Education and Discipleship • We educate and nurture our many and ever increasing number of children – for whom we currently have insufficient space. • Mission and Service • We need better kitchen and dining facilities to support and enhance the dinner and bag lunch programs we already have. We’re at the maximum for Sunday Night Supper and continue to see increases in the needs for bag lunches, groceries and the share shop each week. • We need more intimate spaces to create and gather care and bridge teams to care for our members and friends who are sick, injured or otherwise home-bound.
