Stage 2
The stage 2 works are the final stage and include the demolition of the 2 Sunday School rooms and the rear room of the CMC, followed by the construction of a large two-level facility with a 330 seat auditorium, offices, meeting rooms, a parent room, toilets, kitchen and large foyer.
The picture below will help to give an idea of what this is expected to look like. The cost for this work is currently estimated to be around $5 million. This will allow for much more capacity on site as well as allowing us to hold many more language-based services and children and youth programs on-site at the same time.
When our stage 1 plans are complete, we will continue to raise funds for this major building plan as God allows.
