Remodeling for the Future

NOW TO HIM who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever!

Ephesians 3:20-21

Our Future

When we started this journey we set goals and a vision for our success:

Our Vision

Here we are-2010-Council Bluffs, Iowa. The torch has been passed to us. We stand at a precipice. Like those who have gone before us, we continue to believe the Church of Jesus Christ is the hope of the world. We believe there is no greater enterprise on planet earth than Christ's Church.
While we acknowledge the Church is people...living stones... we are also in agreement that we need warm, attractive, inviting spaces to 'house' the people God sends us. Welcoming facilities are necessary to 'facilitate' the ministries to God's people.

Our Goals

• Create a new, inviting MAIN ENTRANCE

• Create a bright, spacious hospitable GATHERING SPACE

• Create bright, new, handicap-accessible REST ROOMS

• Address mechanical issues heating/ AC/ electrical/parking/fire sprinkling

• Funding high energy, professional Youth and Family Minister

• Retire existing debt
