CONSTRUCTION STARTED: Site preparation for construction on the new Children’s Building and new parking lot has started. The process of preparing the site of the new parking lot and tearing out the existing parking lot where the new building will be located will take several weeks and is dependent on the weather. This phase will seem slow until the foundation and walls are in place. Again, the timeline is for completion next July or August 2017. Your patience and understanding will be appreciated as the project moves forward. Pray for the workers and their safety.

REACH UPDATE: This is important as we begin the second year of our REACH Campaign and three year pledges. As of now, we have received $2.8 M and will soon pass the $3 M mark. Giving for the first year which ended in June was $2.5 M. This is significantly above the pledged amount as people were led by God to invest in this important expansion and investment in His Kingdom. At this same giving level, we will have received $7.5 M at the end of the first three years toward the total project cost of $13.7 M. If the Central family will continue to give for another three years at some level, we can become debt free within our goal of 7 years. This is a family project that needs all of us participating as God leads. God will bless you for your obedience and cheerful giving. If you are a new Central member or have not started giving, we ask that you pray to seek what God would have you to do.
