Help Us Complete Building Construction After Fire!
We’re excited to tell you about our incredible journey of resilience and unity. Our former church space, a place of fellowship and worship, is almost fully restored after an unexpected setback. A few years ago, a devastating house fire took away the home of two beloved members of our congregation, the very place where we used to gather.
But you know what’s amazing? Throughout all the challenges, our congregation kept on worshiping and staying connected. We’re so thankful for the warm-hearted folks who opened their doors, letting us gather in new spaces. And when the pandemic hit, we went virtual to keep that connection strong. We’re still online in 2023, and now we’ve got a temporary physical space to gather again.
Today, we’re on the brink of a fresh start. The reconstruction is almost done – interiors are getting a loving touch, and the floors are nearly complete. Those blank walls are now full of life, with fresh paint bringing vibrancy. We can’t wait for the family to move back into their new home, and we’re thrilled about our new space for church activities.
Here’s the icing on the cake: our new design includes a connected area at the back of the home, thoughtfully built with a separate entrance and restroom. This multipurpose room will be our gathering spot, while the family enjoys their private space. It’s a true testament to the blessings we’ve received.

With gratitude,
