Campus master plan was revised to accommodate a new worship building while allowing for the continued use of existing worship building. A new courtyard, which replaced the existing church, creates a peaceful transition from parking to the new church. The site was rezoned by working closely with the neighbors, zoning board and county commissioners to allow for building replacement and expansion.
