The Lobby and Main Street

This picture is looking at the eventual entrance for the lobby area.

This wall will be the outside glass curtain wall. This curtain wall will have a slight curve for an
architectural highlight.

This is the same wall as you see above only looking at it from the inside. Again, this wall will be glass and you can already see the awesome view. Can you picture sitting in the coffee shop looking out these windows at that amazing view?

This is a look down Main Street. Main Street will be a long passage way for navigating the building. From Main Street a person can enter the lobby, Worship Center, Nurseries, and the Children's Wing. As you can imagine - there will be a lot of activity on Main Street each Sunday morning.

Please continue to pray with us for God's protection and blessing as we move forward. As of yesterday, we are 6 months away from our first service in the new building (pending no major delays).

A More Complete Look

With every passing week the building continues to take shape. These recent arial photos show the complete layout of the building. This first view is from the north looking south.

This is a view from the south looking north.

This last view is from the east looking west - what a view!!!

God is blessing us with good weather and we are almost completely roofed in. Praise Him for the progress being made.

Inside is Taking Shape

We are two weeks into 2010 and the inside of our new building is beginning to take shape. I want to show you a few insider pictures.

This first picture is of the Worship Center. Take note of the platform and the sloped floor.

This next picture shows the inside progress in the Children's Wing. The big openings will be windows and doors which lead out to the playground.

Lastly is a picture of the Student Center.  Can you envision all of the students filling this place? Two of these students are in this picture.

Please keep praying for this project. Pray for God's present blessings and His future blessings!!

Last Update for 2009

I wanted you to see what the building looks like going into the last week of 2009. As you can see the Worship Center roof is complete. The workers are now doing a lot of inside work on the Worship Center.

The Children's Wing is beginning to take shape.

We are now able to see much of the building layout from these views. The missing pieces are the Lobby and Main Street. These two areas should start taking shape in January 2010.

From the Roof

The roof on the Worship Center is complete. We were able to go up there last week and get a tremendous view of the Front Range and see the  progress on the whole site.

This next picture is a view of the Children's Wing. They are in the process of putting the floor and roof trusses in place. Heidi is very excited as she looks down and sees the progress.

The Student Center, Adult Education area, and Office space is also coming together. They are in the process of completing the floor trusses and hope to pour the concrete floors in this wing over the next couple of weeks. This is dependent upon good weather. Here's what it looks like right now.

Please continue to pray with us for God's blessing and protection over the building project!

History Moves with Us

Many of us have been wondering - how are we going to take some of the historical pieces from our existing building to the new building? We are beginning to see this take place. The diamond stained-glass windows which are currently in our worship center will become a feature piece of the tower base. If you drive by the building site you can see these from the south looking north. We believe this is going to be a creative touch which will continue to promote some of the wonderful Mission Hills history.

We are hoping to have these diamond stained-glass windows back lit. At night can you imagine what this will look like along with the tower and crosses being lit? This will be an attractive visual which will be seen for many miles. We will have many lights on a hill!

Events To Be Watching For...

We have been watching the walls go up over the last few weeks. The fun has just begun. Over the next few months things will continue to change as we add on to the building. We wanted you to be aware of some of the milestones yet to come. Here's a list of the big events (please keep these timeframes flexible as things can change due to bad weather, etc...):
