Classrooms Receive Finishes

The lower level classrooms below the town square are in the finishing stages. The rooms have been trimmed and painted. Soffit and overhead lights are in place and the ceiling is partially installed.

These rooms will be used for a variety of groups, including confirmation classes, VBS, adult Bible study, community groups and perhaps Sunday School.

Carpet will be laid over the next couple of weeks. The rooms will be available for use November 28.

Lower Level Classrooms

Work is proceeding on the new lower level classrooms directly below the new Town Square. In the photo below you can see that the ceiling grid is being installed. A primer coat is on the walls and wood trim is being added around the room.

Lower Level Classrooms

Two new classrooms that are nearly the size of the Great Room and Library combined, are now enclosed on the lower level. These classrooms will serve many different needs for children, youth and adults. The electrical work will begin shortly. Until then, without lights, you'll have to use a little imagination to envision your bible study group, confirmation class, VBS session, or Sunday School class meeting in this spacious new area.

Town Square Foundations Proceed

Work on the new Main Entrance and Town Square is proceeding on schedule. The footings and foundations are nearly complete. The final concrete pour will occur this week on the west wall visible in the photo below. The big CAT excavator sits just where the new main entrance and canopy will be. The next steps are to complete the under floor drainage system, begin building the basement block walls and then pour the basement floor.

From the view below you can see the rectangular outline of the new lower level classrooms that will sit directly beneath the new town square. When the center partition is opened, this room will be larger than the Great Room, have taller ceilings than the rest of the lower level, and be outfitted with audio/visual capability. Uses include Redeemer bible study, VBS, confirmation classes, Sunday School, community bible study and other community events.
