Plans for this project began in February of 1996 and were completed in November of 1997. Brandt Construction, Inc. was awarded this contract in December of 1997. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on January 11, 1998 with all those in attendance bringing their own shovels to help pitch in. Brandt Construction, Inc. began work a week later. The scope of this project consisted of a new 4,000 square foot narthex, a new 14,000 square foot sanctuary, renovation of the existing sanctuary and a storage area with multiple rooms in the partial basement. The exterior of this church was constructed from Indiana sandstone, EIFS, and limestone. This was used to match the existing church and help minimize the cost. This project was a true indication of teamwork with no major problems. The dedication was held on November 22, 1998 with over 1,400 people attending.

Features:

• The floor to peak elevation of the sanctuary is 48 feet.

• The narthex includes a baptismal font and a skylight.

• The seating capacity of the sanctuary is 800 people.

• The interior finishes consist of carpet, ceramic tile, wood trim, vinyl base, vinyl clad tile and pews.

• The exterior windows have been installed with stained glass to bring out the traditional values of the church.
