Defining Moments is a two-year strategic giving initiative for the future of Christ Community Church and the kingdom in Gainesville. We plan to develop the rest of our property and to build an addition to our current building. We want to create a space for others to be invited to Christ’s banquet while also holding on to the distinctives that have made Christ Community such a beautiful place to belong.

Construction continues to move forward throughout the new building! In the sanctuary, the acoustical panels and lighting are fully installed, painting is complete, and the mechanical contractor is installing grilles and diffusers. This week, carpet tile is also expected to be laid in the sound booth and the room off the stage.

Elsewhere, lighting has been installed in the main lobby ceiling grid, tile work has been extended to the new double doors, and all glass and doors are now in place. Grilles and diffusers are being installed in the lobby as well. We’re looking forward to seeing the painting wrap up in the main lobby, office spaces, and education areas, with plumbing fixtures on site and ready to be installed.

Outside, work continues on the trim and soffits, along with carpentry around the steel I-beams on the front porch. Landscaping is also taking shape as sod is laid around the building.

We are still awaiting semi-permanent power, which will allow us to energize the main portion of the new building. We’re hopeful an inspector will be out this week to approve this next important step. We’re grateful for the continued progress and excited to see everything coming together!

We hope that this spring will be a time of spiritual renewal for Christ Community Church. With God's help, we will continue to grow through this initiative. These are ways to engage with Defining Moments:
