On April 4th, we officially began construction on our new building! The facility has been designed to provide critical space for the programs and activities that serve a growing number of youth, families, and other adults in the church community. “We are very excited to get started on this building which will give us better opportunities to serve our neighbors and our church family,” said Robert Cavin, Senior Pastor at MBC. “Our relationship with our community is very important to us, so we’ve made every effort to use our resources in a way that benefits the surrounding area,” Cavin added. The 11,585 square foot building includes multipurpose rooms, classrooms, conference rooms, and an open lounge and café space.

The entire lower level will be dedicated to junior and senior high students. “Our new space will help us provide a safe, fun, and encouraging environment where our teens can connect authentically with their friends, share their stories with people who care about them, and be challenged with the deeper truths of life,” said Bob Erbig, Pastor of Youth Ministries.

The building is expected to open in the Spring of 2012. Upon completion, the church will hold a dedication ceremony and open house for the public.
