This move will require a lot of all of us. Just moving itself will be a herculean effort! But I also expect there will be much work for us to do as we get situated in the new building in the year ahead. All the corners of our church’s life will be impacted by this move– worship, home meetings, kids ministry, prayer, outreach…

It is just thirteen weeks until we are worshiping in the new building! Over the rest of the summer, I am going to post updates each week to let you know how we are preparing for the big move. Each week will be a countdown! There will be a lot: outreaches, moving events, prayer walks, first Sunday instructions, and more.

Our GC is moving fast! Their team has completely ripped out the previous second floor and reframed a new second floor. The new second floor is more equipped to limit sound transmission, structurally hold our congregation…

Construction continues at the future building! In the photos, you can see that the second floor has nearly been entirely removed, and the crew is working at putting in the structure for the new second floor…

Construction is moving along! A couple of weeks ago, the team poured the concrete slab for the first floor. Everyone is so thankful to be out of the dirt! This is the floor we will polish and walk on in the years to come….

I wanted to let you all know the results of Project Sanctuary Renewed! I shared these at our last two Sunday morning services, but I wanted to make sure the news hit the blog too. Our first goal was to raise $320k in extended and new…

In the Spring of 2024, Liberti launched Project Sanctuary, where we raised pledges for the financing and renovation of our future church home at 2531 E Lehigh Ave. We envision…

Just a quick update to say that we closed on our construction loan today! Dave Wenger and I got everything in line, traveled to our title company, and signed the papers…

I have a major update today! Dave Wenger and I have set a closing date with our lender for the construction loan: Wednesday, October 29. Please be praying that…

Over the past few months, many folks from the church (of all ages!) have come to the new building to pull up hardwood floors. They have done the tedious work of pulling the floors up…

So one confusing thing about Project Sanctuary has been when I reference “the building team.” If you have ever asked, “who is the building team?”, know that you are not alone!…

God has provided us with a construction loan! The loan will come through Christian Investors Financial (CIF). CIF is an organization that provides faith-based financial solutions that serve Kingdom expansion. They provide…

We have picked a General Contractor! The firm doing the work at the building will be JCLR Construction. How did we pick JCLR? Over the course of this year, our building team…

As of the end of July, Liberti has received over $1 million for Project Sanctuary! Join me in thanking God for us hitting this huge milestone. This giving has come from all kinds of places…
