“Doing this extensive a project while we were in occupancy of the church took a high degree of coordination. J. G. Rock was committed to the execution of a timetable that ensured we got into completed portions of the project when we needed to. They were very instructive in helping us understand what to anticipate logistically and financially throughout the project, which allowed us to plan a budget and timeline that worked. What has been most valuable is their willingness and ability to manage the project to our schedule. They have been great partners.”

Phase II provided for renovation of the Fellowship Hall and classrooms, as well as office space and a Senior High Youth Room on the lower level.
Phase III completed the project, with a new Commons and Sanctuary seating 572. Some 75% of the new facilities are located on one level, providing much better access and flexibility for the congregation.

A wall of doors to the spacious Narthex can be opened to accommodate additional seating for the Sanctuary. The mall-like Narthex provides plenty of room for the congregation to come and go, as well as perfect space for fairs and displays.
Spacious classrooms with full walls, new bathrooms and plenty of sunlight and storage space awaited youngsters after move-in day for the education wing in September.
