Sanctuary and Narthex Expansion

This first milestone expansion has allowed us to go from an overcrowded worship center to a comfortable, inviting environment that includes enough space for us to grow as we continue to extend God’s love to our community.
Thanks to everyone who joined us as we humbly dedicated our building and ourselves to furthering the work of God’s kingdom.

Beyond Us Kiosk

Our new kiosk offers a central point for construction updates, plans, and ministry news surrounding the remaining two years of our Beyond Us journey.

Financial Update

The total projected cost is $12.6 million. We have collected over $5.9 million. The total pledges received to date are $11 million. We are thankful to all who have given sacrificially to these ministry efforts thus far.

Phase 2 Construction

This phase, which includes a road to Castleton and a children's building began in May 2008.

• KidsWorld (Children’s Ministry) Addition

  This 11-month project began June 2008. Exciting new features include worship spaces for our 3 and 4th graders and 5th and 6th graders. Both these rooms have prayer rooms incorporated into the space so we can teach our children the importance of prayer. Security has been planned along with new checkpoints for parents who are checking in children. The first floor addition will include specially designed space for 2 and 3-year olds. This will allow Pre-K and Kindergarten to expand on the upper floors the current children building. Additionally, we will have a new special needs room on the main floor to accommodate our special friends.

• Playground Removal

  For the safety of all children, the playground will be removed for the duration of the KidsWorld building construction. We apologize for any inconvenience. The playground will reopen when the building is complete.

• New Road to East 86th St.

  This four-month project will improve our congested traffic flow on Sundays, increase safety for pedestrians, and heighten the visibility of our ministry in Castleton. The new road will exit next to Costco on 86th Street. Once the new road is installed, you will be able to go from E91 to Corporate Park or to East 86th Street. Estimated completion date: October 1.

• Back Gate/Road Closure

  In order to allow for the KidsWorld building construction and placement of the new road, our back gate and the road leading to it will be closed at all times except Sunday mornings. The back gate will continue to remain closed during the construction of the children’s addition. We will have limited parking in the small back lot, with the majority of it designated for the handicapped and those with special needs.

Phase 3 Construction

Remaining project dreams include constructing new Student Ministry space and adding more space for adults. This project is in the initial planning stages.
