Perhaps the best way to learn more about the REACH Initiative is to watch our message from February 5, 2023. During that Sunday morning message, Jay and Lee discussed the vision that led to REACH, our preliminary plans and goals, as well as the financial side of the project.

Some great renovations have been done (and continue to be done) in our Worship Center since Phase 2 of the REACH Initiative began in April 2024. We have updated the HVAC, lighting, audio, and video, updated the stage, repurposed the Choir Loft into additional seating, and built wing walls for easier access to the stage. Currently, we are a few days away from finishing the paint and installing new flooring. The last update will be to install the new stadium-style seating, which we expect to be done by the first week of August. (Did you know that the new seating will offer more cushion and allow you to fold the armrests up if you need more room?)

With all these changes, our Worship Center will hold approximately 350 more seats, bringing the capacity up to 1,000. The addition of 350 more seats is like adding an extra worship service! With all the improvements to the Worship Center, we have been giving a lot of thought and prayer about what worship will look like once we return on Sunday, August 11. We keep returning to how good it feels to worship together in the Youth Center due to proximity and how difficult it will be for that feeling to carry over into the expanded Worship Center when we are so distant from each other due to all that extra space!

These new times require adjusting our normal rhythms, but the change will have many long-term benefits.

• Our Worship Center will comfortably seat 1,000 people. As previously stated, the intimacy and energy of worshiping in the Youth Center has been amazing, and we want to carry that same energy into the Worship Center. 
• The new times may even out our Kids' Ministry programming. We currently have a significant attendance bubble at 9:45 AM for Kids' programming that we would like to see even out. Moving to 9:00 and 10:30 AM services means families attending the 9:45 AM service would have to make the most significant adjustment. Our hope is that both hours will see close to an equal number of kids once the transition to two worship services occurs.
• Our 8:30 service is our most streamed service. Our online campus has become our new front door, and many people attend worship for the first time from the comfort of their living room. By having a 9:00 AM service, we will still have an early service with minimal disruption to our streaming.
• These times will help with family schedules. Looking back over the last decade, much of our later programming has seen the least attendance, while our other two services have seen the most growth. Family schedules are changing, and we need to change with them.
• More time between services means more time for the parking lot to clear out OR for friends to socialize between services. We know parking can be challenging with only 15 minutes between services, especially if a service runs long or you see someone you haven't chatted with for a while. We get it. That's why we included additional time between services to allow for a more relaxed transition between services. 

We can't tell you how excited we are for all of us to return to the Worship Center on Sunday, August 11 at 9:00 and 10:30 AM! We know the change from three worship services to two may be challenging for some, but we see the change as something positive for our church family as we live out our vision to Follow Jesus Together. And be sure to join us on Sunday, August 18, for our REACH Celebration Sunday!

Below are the screenshots from the most recent floor plans for the building remodel. These plans are NOT final and are subject to change as the project evolves. We will update with revised floorplans as often as possible if necessary.

Our vision to FOLLOW JESUS TOGETHER has always been about engaging our relationship with Jesus and others. For that vision to become a reality, our engagement is vital. Join us on this journey! The Lord has use for all of us. Ask Him how He can use you, and engage.

A lot has been discussed on this webpage and we know that for many people, change can be uncomfortable. We ask for grace and patience as we commit to the REACH Initiative together and hope that you will join us in prayer over the coming months.

The “together” part of FOLLOW JESUS TOGETHER includes everyone — you, your family, and our community. As you know, there are a lot of people in our community who are yet to know Jesus and we need to re-envision our space to better REACH them. One of the best ways to support REACH is to make a financial commitment to the initiative.
