KEY TALKING POINTS:
Tone to Use When Sharing:

- Remind people that signage, maps, and volunteers will be available to help.
- Encourage patience and flexibility as we build together.
This is a huge week for site prep and starting our construction. You will begin seeing some significant changes to our building and the campus. We are so thrilled to see this day arrive and all the work that is being done so we will have the space we need to show more people God’s love and represent Jesus in our community and around the world.
1. Portico Demolition – Everything is set to start on Monday, July 7
2. The Minnows’ room is moving one door over to make room for the construction of a new entrance and foyer. We will need that entrance once construction of the new sanctuary begins
3. THE BIG NEWS! – We are closing the road that runs past the fountain at the main entrance. This will keep everyone safe during construction and make room for the crews doing the work.
4. THE GREAT NEWS –
- We are not losing any parking space. Lot D will stay open for those who usually park there.
- You will need to take the scenic route, through Lot A, the visitors’ lot, around Lot C and along the Loop Road.
- When you are ready to go home, you will need to use the Loop Road, turn right, toward Lot E (near Trivium), and exit onto Startown Road using the driveway on the far side of Lot E
- We will have our fantastic parking team there to help guide you and keep everyone safe
5. The Discipleship building and its parking lot will be open during the week. You will just need to get there by coming into our parking lot from Startown Road and taking the Loop Road into and out of Lot D.
STAY CONNECTED!
There are a lot of parking changes coming, and for the next couple of months, the weather may force us to make some quick changes. We will be updating the construction page and the hotline, but we will also be sending text messages for everyone who is connected to our platform.
