Church Construction
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD. ~ Haggai 1:8

Congregation Survey
January 28, 2024 the building committee distributed surveys seeking input from the church congregation. Results will be used to establish a building plan and estimated cost that will be within our budget.
05
Initial Rough Draft Floorplan
March 31, 2024 the congregation was presented a rough first draft of the floor plan and a rendering of what the building might look like. The congregation will vote on the building committee's recommendations in coming weeks!

Building Committee Formed
Vision
The vision of the building committee is to have a facility that is “mission minded”. Each member expressed that they did not want to see a facility that was only a “place to meet” on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights, but rather be a facility that is welcoming, provides opportunities to reach lost people, and is designed for multipurpose use now and in future church outreach programs.
04
Survey Review
February 10, 2024 the building committee met and reviewed the construction surveys. Floor plan sketch, inspections, and building companies are being contacted to beginning preliminary design.
06
Road, Sewer, and Well
Preliminary cost estimates for the construction of an access road, installation of drain field, and the drilling of a well has begun. Septic permit forms have been submitted to the State of Tennessee by the trustees and we are now waiting on a soil analysis. Once the septic system has been permitted , we will be able to move forward more aggressively in building our new church building.
07
Clearing and Soil Update
The soil testing for the septic system is scheduled for July!
The property is being cleared of vegetation in preparation for the soil testing as well as the construction of our roadway! See photos below!
