St. Paul's New Building

Work Begins!!!

Voter's have given approval to begin the process of finishing the Fellowship Hall and Kitchen facilities in the new addition. This work is to commence immediately and be finished within approximately 90 days (end of November). There will be a full Kitchen, and seating in the Fellowship Hall for approximately 250 people around round tables. Benefits will be numerous...full kitchen facilities equipped for large meals, seating space for larger groups than we can currently handle, the school kitchen will not need to be used for funeral meals, and large meetings can be held in both church and school simultaneously. Check here for our most recent construction pictures.

St. Paul is in the process of completing their new church complex. After an arson fire destroyed St. Paul Lutheran Church in May of 1999, a new church complex was planned to be built South of the existing school building. Work was begun in Fall of 2001, and the outside shell was completed in June of 2003. The sanctuary was completed in August of 2003, and then the church office area was completed to the point of being able to move into them.

Recently, the church's narthex (main entry hallway--see above pictures) has been completed, along with the church library, the nursery, and the coat rooms. The next scheduled project to be finished is the church Fellowship Hall, which will be capable of holding approximately 250 people around round tables. Its kitchen will be capable of serving lunches for special events such as wedding receptions and funerals, as well as a host of other congregational meals.
