In November, 2002, Mountain View Community Church purchased approximately 20 acres on Fingerboard Road (Route 80) along the west side of Interstate 270, just over 1 mile from Urbana High School. By January, 2004, this land was paid for in full, and we began to think seriously about the building process.
Stewardship Campaign
In April 2006, we launched the Building a Legacy stewardship campaign with the intention of raising funds for a permanent place of worship. By God’s grace, through the Building a Legacy campaign, His people committed almost $2.5 M in funds earmarked for the construction of our new ministry home. Approximately $800,000 was received through generous first fruits offerings, and the remaining amount was pledged to be given over a three-year period.
Planning and Construction
The primary committees involved with this project are the Facilities Planning Team (with a focus on building design) and the New Facilities Team (with a focus on construction and funding). These teams have been working closely with the architect, general contractor, and others to help make this vision for ministry a reality. The New Facilities Team has been communicating progress to the congregation on a quarterly basis in “Town Hall” and congregational meetings. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Sunday, September 14, 2008.
