Building Updates

Demo Days = Fun! (Really!)
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been focused on gutting the building. It’s a big job, but the work is moving steadily forward, and it’s been made possible by an incredible number of volunteers. From middle school boys swinging sledge hammers to folks hauling out carpet squares and dragging tarps through tight doorways, it’s been a beautiful picture of shared effort and joyful labor.

Hear me out on this-  this work is actually fun! This isn’t a trick like Tom Sawyer painting the fence. It’s messy, physical… and deeply satisfying work—and it’s even better when you do it alongside others. I’ve brought my kids. We’ve laughed, worked hard, and built memories.

If you’re looking for a way to help, grab a group and come. (Contact Jordan - jordan@christcommunitycu.com)
- College students—finals got you stressed? Smash some drywall to clear your mind.
- Small groups—make your next meeting a service project.

It’s meaningful, relational, and every hour saves us money we’d otherwise have to spend on labor.

The Vision: “Reaching and Teaching”
We’ve given a name to this building project - “Reaching and Teaching”. That’s really the heart behind this, based on Acts 16. We believe this building will be a tool for reaching our community and teaching God’s Word faithfully.

This space isn’t about square footage; it’s about souls. We hope this pamphlet (click here) helps you envision where we’re headed and invites you to consider how God might be calling you to be involved— by praying, serving, or giving.

Where We Stand Financially
1. We need to raise $800,000 above our regular giving to complete renovations by January 2026. The good news? Thanks to generous early gifts, that number is already down to $675,000!

2. We’ve taken out a loan for the building and are now paying interest. Our aim is to pay this off in three years—not 20—so that we steward God’s resources wisely. Once renovations are complete and the debt is gone, our operating costs will actually be lower than they are now.

3. God is already providing. Since January, we’ve received over $125,000 in above-and-beyond giving. Praise God!

Thank you for your role in bringing this vision to reality. Please join us in continuing to pray for God’s provision, for unity, and for God to be glorified in and through it all.
