Our new home continues to move forward! Yesterday the crew began setting the new buildings in the permanent place. We should see the modular s become one big building in the next couple of weeks.

visable progress

If you have driven past the property the last week you may have seen signs of progress. A fence went up last week, and yesterday they started moving dirt! All good signs of progress. We are still in talks with the city about some issues some issue, so keep praying for Gods hand in everything we do.

fence going up

the construction fence went up this week, look for some equipment on site next week some time. We are still praying to get the building open this sring.

work continues

The rain has delayed some of the work the last couple of weeks, but today began prep for the dirt work. The surveyors were on site laying out the plan. You should see a fence up in the next day or two, and if the rain lets up the dirt should be moving next week! It is happening!

permits have been pulled

We are just about finished with the permitting process and would have begun surveying this week if not for the gift of rain. There are still many things that we need to push through over the next few months, so continue to pray for the complete project. Also pray for Leading Edge Academy as they begin the process of staffing and locating students to fill the building. Its happening!

its official!

Tuesday night the Maricopa City counsel unanimously approved our site plan and building design! We are continuing to finalize the plans, and should begin contsruction very soon! Keep up the prayers, lots to get done in the next few months.

city counsel

rusty — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:47:19 +0000

This Tuesday, December 15th, our city counsel will be voting to approve our site and building. This is the last hurdle we have to clear on the city and planning level. We would really like to pack out this city counsel meeting with as many of you as possible to show support for the building and site. Please try and be there if at all possible.

place: Global Water Builgin

time: 7:00 pm

Date December 15th

Hope to see you all there!

ground breaking!

rusty — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:17:53 +0000

We are going to have an official ground breaking ceremony this Sunday afternoon, December 6th @ 3:00 pm. Bring you lawn chairs, and you cameras, its happening!

Plans are to begin moving dirt on the property the week of December 14th. The contractor has already begun the demolition of the modular units this week. Its very cool to see stuff happening.

See you on Sunday!

Planning and zoning approval

rusty — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:32:33 +0000

Last night Maricopa planning and zoning commission unanimously approved our new site plan and building! This means that we only have one more stop to make at City Council on Dec 15th, and we are well on our way to moving into our own building this spring. Hopefully in time for Easter Sunday 2010.

We hope to begin demolition of the inside of the modulars in the next week, and be moving dirt by mid December. This is all very good news, and is a true answer to prayers.

Many of you may not realize that COH held its very first public service on Easter Sunday 2005. It was just a preview service, and we did not begin weekly gatherings until fall, but it was our first time gathering as a church. If we are able to move into our own building 5 years later it would be a huge miracle.

Many thanks go out to everyone that has worked so hard on making this happen. And to everyone that has given so much of their time and their finances. God can’t do His work without us.

Look for some work to begin sometime in the next week or so!

Big meeting this Thursday

rusty — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:43:35 +0000

Need you to pray that our meeting on Thursday goes well. If it does we will take a huge step towards moving dirt very, very, soon.
