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!

A Bird's-Eye View


Sometimes the best perspective is from above. These photos were taken a couple of weeks ago and they show the progress on our building site. The walls that you see is the framework for the worship center. Over the next few weeks we will begin to see some of the other walls be erected.
