Updates: Week of 1/26/26
On Tuesday, 1/27/26 at 12:00pm a Bible was placed in the foundation rebar before the concrete placement. The Bible was placed at the entrance to the Community Fellowship House. This house is built on God’s word. The first concrete was placed in the foundation at 12:15pm on Tuesday 1/27/26. In addition, on Thursday 1/29/26 the stem wall was completed. The stem wall will connect the foundation to the building slab.
Matthew 7: 24 – 27 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”
Updates: Week of 2/8 and Week of 2/9.
OAC bi-weekly meeting have begun with our TCC representatives. In these (Owner, Architect, Contractor) meetings schedules are communicated and completed items along with open issues are discussed. Last week all subs were invited to the site for a meet and greet and Pastor Matt had an opportunity to share more about the significance of this project for our church and our community. Rough plumbing has been laid in the footprint of the building and ready for inspection. This week electricians will come in to install rough electrical so that the slab can be prepared for pouring following inspections. The slab forms are complete while we await the completion of the plumbing and electrical rough-in and inspections. Site work for sewer and storm drain is planned for the end of the month, along with that we will begin to see vertical construction. Please continue to hold our General Contractor and their Subcontractors in your prayers. A few updated photos are below.

Project Update: Week of 2/23/26
Continues progress this week includes the delivery of 7 tractor trailer loads of concrete block for the building walls. Opening lentils are onsite, and the pouring of the building slab on 2/26/28 at 8:00am.
The small rack of containers that you see in these photos are samples from the concrete that are pressure tested in intervals over the next 3 days. And that piece of equipment you see workers riding to smooth over the freshly poured concrete is called a power trowel or “whirly bird”. All slab outside forms have been removed and the slab will have a few days to cure before crews begin going vertical construction, which is laying the concrete block for the walls.
