Building Project
Making Room
Current progress
God is building his church!
Our church family is growing and it’s time to make room!
After over two years of praying and planning and meeting, we believe God is leading us to expand. We’ve maximized our current Welcome Center for over 20 years, but we are out of room.
The new lobby will provide room for guests and our growing church family to come early and stay late. It will provide space for community, discipleship and fellowship.
The cozy fireplace will be a perfect environment for prayer gatherings and encouraging conversations. The café will provide fresh drinks, snacks, and refreshments that can be enjoyed before or after our service times.
We’ve remodeled much of the interior already, and this project will provide the exterior a facelift.
In a time when the world seems to divide us, we are creating a space that brings us together.
The best is yet to come!

What impact (if any) will there be to Calvary Kids/ YTH?
Preliminary conversations have taken place to renovate some of those areas.
- Convert half of gym to Youth Worship Auditorium by adding a wall around half- court that can be removed for larger events (i.e. Christmas Jamboree) that provides a more intimate/customized space for YTH services.
- Convert G-2 (large classroom on floor level) to Elementary-themed Calvary Kids Auditorium.
- Provide self check-in stations in new lobby area.
What about the playground from the video?
We have re-designed that space to be a multi-purpose, outdoor, green space so all ages can utilize before and after services, as well as special events. Playground in back of property to remain.

Yes, we will continue to provide free coffee. Additionally, we will have specialty drinks, refreshments, food items, etc. for-purchase in the new café.
