Building Progress
We will frequently update this page with what is going on with our 2,000 seat auditorium and state-of-the-art youth center at our Brownsboro Campus.
We ask for your patience and thank you in advance during our construction. In the end, we will have a wonderful, new, 2,000 seat auditorium and youth center. But most importantly . . . with these changes more people will come to know God. It's not about the building but the people who we hope to reach!
New changes!
• Our temporary trailer is now open! Kids in the 3, 4 and Kindergarten classes need to be taken and checked in here. There will be a space for your vehicle to drop off passengers if necessary.
• The Children's entrance and check-in is now closed for renovation of our new space. 1st - 5th graders need to be checked into the Club right outside of the Club entrance.
• All visitors need to be checked in at the new "Youth Ministries" booth in the main adult foyer. This will be a place for newcomers to check-in and get a nametag and also to receive information about birth - high school ministries - all of this at one place called "Youth
Ministries."
• The second floor of the old children's area has been gutted and work is going on in the gym in preparation for our new space! See photo gallery below.
To help in this transition period, here are some things you'll need to know!
• The main entrance on Brownsboro Road has limited parking but will remain open on the weekend during services. During the week, this main entrance is for DROP-OFF only.
• To allow our visitors and newcomers more spaces near the building, our staff and volunteers are asked to PARK in the new lot at the Chamberlain Lane entrance. A van will be transporting those who park here to and from the front entrance.
• There are now only THREE ENTRANCES to walk into and out of our building. The gym and children's entrance are closed during construction. The three entrances that remain open are on either side of the current auditorium and the entrance near the Club which will be for families with Elementary students.
• The Video Venue is now open in the lower level during the 11:00 service only.
• Sidewalks and island curbs in the new parking lot will come with decent weather.
• Adults - please use the restrooms in the lower level and save the ones on the first floor for our kids. Thank you!
