Frame Up, Floor Down---Next: Bring on the Bricks

The Family Life Center project is experiencing quite the progress spurt over the past week-and-a-half.

The steel frame is in place. Crews poured the cement floor in just a few short hours. Framing for the walls is almost complete. Installation of the metal roof is moving quickly.

And next week? The masonry crew arrives to begin installation of the brick exterior. As the exterior and roofing are completed, work is also proceeding to begin on the interior infrastructure, including electrical, HVAC, drywall and other features.

The Building Committee is meeting bi-weekly with our general contractor, Thomas & Marker, and our architect, Meacham & Apel.

"Our congregation should be very pleased with the progress and quality of work we are receiving for our investment," said Joe Case, building committee member. "We have a great partnership developing that is allows our construction team and our committee to work through challenges, collaborate on cost-effective solutions, and deliver an end product that will allow our ministry to expand."

Crews are working six days a week on various portions of the project.

The Community Takes Note of Our Project


Did you notice the front page of the Marysville Journal-Tribune Wednesday evening?

Yes, that was a picture of work on our building addition featured at the bottom of the page (click on the picture for a closer look).

When folks in the community drive by our church, they are taking note that exciting things are happening with the construction of the Family Life Center. It's an outward sign that our church is growing with the community.

Don't hesitate to use the building project to talk about our church and our ministry with your friends and neighbors. This is a tremendous time of opportunity we don't want to miss!!!

Meanwhile, continue to keep the project in your prayers....

Moving On Up....


Can you say "progress"?

There are a number of visible signs that our building project is moving forward and taking shape.

According to Randy Marker with Thomas & Marker, building permits have been released that are allowing all the progress on the structural steel.

Marker says upcoming progress is expected on placing the floor slab (depending on the weather), and the metal framing of the walls will be taking place within the next few weeks.

Stay tuned for more details....
