MAKING ROOM FOR MINOT
Creating space for our community to know, become like, and share Jesus
** Important INFOrmation **
We will be posting the most up to date information regarding building progress, interruptions to normal facility use, etc in Church Center (app) on the Building Project page.
The Vision
This expansion will create space designed for people, not just programs
- a place where faith and friendships thrive.
Key enhancements include:
• An expanded lobby for deeper connections
• Accessibility upgrades so everyone can participate
• Dedicated spaces for youth and children to grow
• Kitchen & infrastructure updates to fuel ministry for years
By increasing our space, we can help people move from
visitor to connected rightarrow believer to disciple rightarrow disciple to disciple-maker.
The Need
-
Our current children's ministry spaces limit what we can offer families. Because rooms are shared among kids, students, and adults, we can't run multiple programs at the same time. The existing children's areas lack the security families expect and weren't designed to meet the unique needs of infants through high school students.
-
Our congregation longs for deeper relationships, but limited space makes it difficult to connect. Adults of all ages struggle to find their place unless they're already plugged in, and visitors often slip in and out unnoticed. Without enough rooms, volunteers are stretched thin and leaders lack space to launch new classes, groups, and ministries.
-
Our lobby is crowded and unwelcoming, making it hard for guests and regular attenders to connect. The coffee station is tucked away, and the sanctuary's size limits congregational growth. Outdated facilities like our lift and kitchen also create barriers for accessibility and church-wide gatherings.
The solution
-
• Secure children's wing & nursery so parents can worship with confidence
• Dedicated youth center where teens connect, grow, and lead
• Purpose-built classrooms designed for infants through high schoolers, enabling concurrent programming for all ages
-
• Flexible spaces for Bible studies, small groups, and ministries for every stage of life
• Private rooms for counseling and support groups, to meet emotional and spiritual needs
• Dedicated areas for midweek discipleship, leadership development, and new ministry opportunities
-
• Expanded lobby for natural conversations and a welcoming first impression
• Coffee & seating areas that invite people to linger and connect
• Larger sanctuary creating room for growth and more meaningful gatherings
• ADA-compliant elevator and restrooms
• Upgraded kitchen supporting church-wide events and fellowship
So what exactly are we doing?
The summary version
We are building a three story addition to the north side of our existing building. This addition is purpose built for the next generation, with secured spaces for Nursery through 5th grade, and dedicated youth space for 6th-12th grade. A new elevator will greatly improve accessibility. Renovations to the existing facility will allow us to expand our capacity for adult education, community, and discipleship.
