Building Update August 25, 2025

Building Update from Pastor Pat

One of our members came to Pastor Pat with an idea that really made sense. The idea in short was instead of building a completely new facility on the lot we own next door, what if we added on to our current building? After exploring the idea further, we discovered that a 7,000 square foot addition would give us everything we need—at a significantly lower cost than we first anticipated.


We’ve since met with a builder, Ryan Dale with Titus Building Company, and his architect, Jared Malone with Associated Architects. After several meetings, our elder board has prayerfully decided that this is the direction we’re going to take.


The plan is to add a 7,000 square foot expansion that will include a 500-seat auditorium connected directly to our existing building, where our current back paved parking lot sits. Our current building will be remodeled to meet the needs of other ministries that are experiencing growth, namely CalvaryKids.


We’ve signed an initial agreement for pre-construction services, which will take us through the design and permitting phase. If all goes smoothly, we could be breaking ground by the middle of next year (2026)!


This is a major milestone in the life of our church. Please join us in praying that God will give us favor with the city, and with everyone involved in this process. Let’s keep trusting Him to guide each step as we build for the future!

Updates

Here is what is happening

Projects like this always go really slow, and then fast and then slow again. All our updates as they happen are below.

  • A Season of Waiting

    On March 18th, Ryan at Titus Building Company (our General Contractor) met with our architect to go over several changes to the floor plan to make the space more usable for our ministry needs. The Architect firm is hard at work making those changes a reality. This will take 4-6 weeks.

    Also, during this time, we are searching for lending options to finance the project. The current estimate is around $2.3-2.5 million for the total project. Please continue to pray for wisdom and favor with everyone involved in the designing and lending.

  • Second Design

    February 25th, 2026 - The architect provided a new set of drawings based on design meetings in early February. These drawings would expand the space to almost 10,000 SQFT of new construction. Verses the 7,000 SQFT in the previous design.


    March 5th, 2026 - An expanded group of Key staff members met with the Builder to discuss concerns and request changes to the design to better meet the needs of CalvaryKids, as well as adequate restrooms and lobby space.

  • First Design

    At our State of the Church Meeting on Jan. 25th, 2026, we shared the first design provided by our architect. Key staff members meet with the builder and architect during February to refine and then redesign the space to save money and better meet your needs.

  • Signed With AVL Integrator

    There were a few services the church needed to contract with separately. One of those is AVL (Audio, Video, Lighting) for the sanctuary. After many conversations with several companies, we identified Integrated Production Services as the best option. We signed a design contract with them on November 17th, 2025.

  • Found The Builder

    Church leadership identified and started meeting with Ryan Dale with Titus Building Company, and his architect, Jared Malone with Associated Architects. After many meetings and prayerful consideration. On October 30th, 2025, the board signed a contract for the Pre-construction Services with Titus Building Company!
