Christ Church's New Building Program

Christ Church is an exciting place to be!
Our growth in worship attendance, programs and financial giving are all signs of how blessed we are to be a part of this congregation. Our worship attendance has grown over 47% in the last five years. Church programs have grown in numerous ways; new Bible study opportunities, new mission involvement opportunities, and the great new programs of Youth Arts and the opening of the Christian Child Care Center. Financial giving in our congregation has risen by over 78% from the previous five year period.
Indeed, we are a growing congregation. That is why Christ Church has adopted a plan to begin raising funds for the construction of a new sanctuary, narthex area, and storage area. With our current growth and anticipation of future needs, we are proactive, with an eye toward the future of our church. On February 6, 2001, the congregation approved that very look to the future with the adoption of the theme "Faith In Our Future - Building For Tomorrow."
What will this project provide the Christ Church congregation?
Preliminary Construction plans include:
A larger sanctuary to accommodate for the future growth of our worship attendance
More flexible worship space in the sanctuary; a large multi-use facility to accommodate both the Kids’ Club and Youth Arts programs in their drama and musical presentations
An altar area that will allow a greater number of worshippers to be served Holy Communion at one time
One large narthex area for members and visitors to meet and greet one another before and after worship services
Much needed, additional storage space
A new larger chapel where the current sanctuary is located that could be utilized specifically for weddings or funerals
A gathering room where the current chapel is located.
