The construction loan has closed and the contract with the builder has been signed!
Paperwork will be submitted on 8/23 to the City of Denton for a preliminary building permit.
If all goes according to plan, site work can begin in September.

In the meantime, the final working drawings are being prepared
and will be submitted to the city for the final building permit when they are finished.

 

 

(4/12/10)

ONCOR's work has begun- the 50-foot easement on the southern end
of the property has been cleared. 
It won't be long before they pour the driveway
that will serve as our
shared access to the property!
Thank you to those who spend time clearing
the brush and undergrowth on the land.  It looks really great.

Our preliminary meetings with the City of Denton have been very positive.
We are looking forward to continued progress. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Recap of the goals and work to this point
The goal has been to build a facility that will not only meet our current needs for worship and education space, but will also allow for future growth.
The Strategic Planning team worked for two years on this, and the building team has spent the past year studying the various way to make this happen.
Ultimately, the goal was to have a functional and practical building that could be completed within the budget of $3 million.

 

The driveway will be built to line up directly with the entry to Guyer (ONCOR is building this)

The first phase of development will only include the first building and approximately 100 parking spaces.

The remainder of the land will be built out in subsequent phases, but not immediately.

The building will feature a 17,000 square-foot first-floor and room to expand into 10,000 square-feet to the second floor.

The first floor configuration features worship space for 400 people, plus 11 classrooms for children, youth, and adults.

The second floor (to be decked and shelled for future expansion) will add more youth space, classrooms, offices, and a fellowship area.

Looking ahead ten years, what might the church look like?
How will we need to structure our ministries today in order to prepare to reach new people in the future?

What can we do to make sure that we conduct ourselves with joy, meaning, creativity, integrity, hospitality, and excellence?
