WE ARE COMING HOME.
BUILDING EXPANSION.
In June, an amazing door opened for us.
We were approached and asked if we would like to take another unit in the business park we already have our building (the prayer room). We have not been meeting there on Sundays because the facilities were not adequate anymore.
Our leadership team prayed and we made a few decisions:
1. To acquire the corner unit of 7,650 square feet.
We were able to re-active the permit on the corner unit (about 100 feet from our Prayer Room), which was granted to the Hindu Temple. The new unit will allow us to build a larger worship center (prayer room) with 500 seats.
2. To designate the 8,000 square feet for our children and youth.
Out of the 14,650 square feet, we are designating over half of the space for our kids and youth.
Our kids ministry got the short end of the stick for 12 years. And now is the time to really bless our children’s ministry and our youth ministries with state of the art facilities — where they can encounter God and make holy memories that they will carry for the rest of their lives. We will be opening new classrooms as well as a large space where the kids will be able to worship and play.
Our previous building (The Prayer Room) will become the family room — a place to raise up the next generation.

Our first Sunday back will be September 21st.
When we first moved in, we had 7,000 square feet. When we return here on Sunday mornings, we will come back to more than double that. When we first moved in, we had to share the parking lot with the Hindu Temple. When we move back, we will have the entire parking area because we now have taken the Hindu Temple. Our teams will have more time to prepare and connect with people, as we will have our own home once again. More than anything, there will be a geographical location that will host the glory of the Lord for our region— the South Bay, LA County, and Southern California.
We are believing for $320,000 to come in towards:
1) The build out of a Prayer Room (main sanctuary) with capacity for 500 worshippers.
2) Creating a Family Center where we can raise up the next generation and that will serve the families in our church and the families of our community.
You are building the house of God, a place where people will see Jesus, and a revival center.
