The sale on the old building, on Seminary street, closed yesterday afternoon. Our congregation began in 1833, and started to use that site, on seminary street in 1909. It served our church very well for many years and many renovations. We are thankful to God for the history of our congregation and our time there. We carry, into our new church home, many great memories of worshipping in that space.
In fact, we have carried a lot more than just memories. You can see remembrances of our story, and even echoes of the previous sanctuary all throughout our new space!
We are so profoundly to our trustees and building committee for their passionate and dedicated work. We are thankful to the legacy team who have made our church history an important piece of the testimony of our church, and we are thankful to you for going on this journey with us!
The money from the sale of the old church has been a part of the building project from day one. Look to see it being put to work in finishing the parking lot, and helping to construct an out-building. That building will house: important supplies, our excellent Swap Room ministry, and an array of solar panels to lessen the carbon footprint of our new ministry space!
It continues to be the goal of our church to make this new place a sanctuary of hope, where the goodness of God the Father, the salvation offered through Jesus Christ, and the blessing of the Holy Spirit is on display, and gracefully offered to all who we meet in ministry. The work of the church continues in a new place. We are thankful to God for where we have been, and for where we are.
