The auditorium
Imagine a sanctuary designed for 1,000 people in a single service. A place where unified worship rises without limitation, allowing our church family to finally gather under one roof without being turned away.
A home for generations
The vision is clear: build a church that meets people where they are.
"Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored," says the Lord.
Haggai 1:8 NIV
Why we are building
We have reached the limits of the space we borrow at the Little Theatre. We host 700 to 800 adults in a space meant for 534, often turning families away because we cannot accommodate them.

1,000In one service, in our new home
"It's Time" is an invitation to step forward in faith and take responsibility for what God has entrusted to us. We are building a permanent home on the Peninsula, a sanctuary designed to welcome all, where no one is turned away, and where the sound of unified worship rises without limitation.
