We are currently working through the final phases of restoring and renovating our building due to a city water main break in 2023, which has temporarily moved our worship to a neighboring church. Our congregation is now preparing for a joyous "homecoming" in mid-November 2026 to a fully renovated, barrier-free facility designed to be a hub for music, the arts, and radical hospitality. We are not just restoring a building; we are launching a new era of ministry. Type of Commitment Full time Does this job pay? Yes
