We want to create a welcoming environment with a family feel by renovating the look and function of our space. We believe this impacts new guests and members of our community. By showing we're good stewards of our building, we want to say we will take care of you and your family. These changes are secondary and serve the primary focus - our ministries - including a renewed emphasis on groups and discipleship and equipping us for mission.

These renovations will take place in three phases.

• Lobby: flooring, lighting, paint, simplify the columns
• Gathering space: accent wall and fireplace
• New furniture: coffee bar, Connection Desk, and KidsLife check-in, and acoustical treatment in the KidsLife area.
• Women’s restroom: flooring, toilets, sinks, stalls. 
• Worship center: center projection screen, new projectors on sides
• Rebranding: colors, fonts, looks

This phase is planned out and set to begin immediately.

• Playground area: flooring
• Student Life: expansion and restructuring
• MultiPurpose Room: flooring, furniture, reorientation, acoustical treatment and painting
• KidsLife Classrooms: flooring, cabinetry, toys/resources, furniture and painting
• Big KidsLife Room and Hallways: flooring
• Men's Restroom
• Prayer room and Worship Center rooms
• Detroit Ave Landscaping
• Signage, emergency resources, security process updates and features

Not currently included

• Roof and HVAC replacement (the church is already saving for these projects)
• Hartseil Center
• Kitchen
• Balcony
• Portico/Lobby expansion

We aim to raise $850,000 for these renovations.

The church is contributing $260,000 towards this cost. We can complete Phase 1 right now with these funds, so we are moving forward with those renovations.

We're asking the church to contribute towards the overall project. Please use the Gift Chart below to help your family discern what you may give. We ask that these gifts are above and beyond your current giving commitment to New Life.

We will receive donations for the Next Level Fund between April 6, 2025-April 5, 2026
