We're In Our New Church Building!!!

Two Sundays ago we finally got into our new church building! Its been a long process b/c it was on a piece of land that had nothing and had to have all the huge city water lines and everything brought to it. Of course lots of issues with permits and inspections and stuff as usual. The delays though allowed us to be able to afford to pave the parking lot b/c the price of oil went down during the process! This was something that wasn't in the budget before but it is SO NICE to be able to have it paved b/c the rock and dirt that was there b/f was awful when it rained. We had 195 people there for the first service, it was amazing. Because we have this location we are now able to have more bible studies take place, this week we are starting mens and womens bible studies, and the response for the women has blown us away! Over 30 women have signed up! I even had a lady ask if all that signed up were actually from our church! God is moving, its great! Here's a few pictures of the "Homecoming Day"...

The sanctuary, you can't tell but there are two sections this size of seating, with an aisle in the middle of the two

In the corner of the property is a little garden
So if you're in our area we'd love for you to join us! We're a small but growing church body that loves the Lord and each other.
