The architectural plans are nearing completion and formal approval. We anticipate the bullsdozers will start their engines and move dirt in the near future! We will keep the church family posted on the progress, and will provide 24-hour live video of the construction progress via our website. God has blessed us with approximately 93.2% of the entire Thrive project in cash gifts. The remaining need by the end of the construction period is approximately $250,000.
