Macleay Church Building Project Updates

June 2026 — Finishing Work Accelerates as Completion Draws Near

With our anticipated completion date approaching, work throughout the building is advancing at a steady pace. Drywall finishing, painting, trim installation, doors, exterior brickwork, and surrounding site excavation are all progressing well. There is still much to accomplish in a relatively short period of time, and we remain thankful for the many volunteers who continue to serve. There are still opportunities to help with upcoming finish work, and we encourage anyone who would like to participate to sign up.

Over the coming weeks, flooring, cabinetry, ceilings, lighting, hardware, audio/video systems, final electrical and plumbing fixtures, parking areas, sidewalks, landscaping, and the many finishing details that prepare a building for occupancy will continue to come together. Each completed task brings us one step closer to opening the doors for worship and fellowship.

We are also grateful for our newly appointed office holders who are already investing countless hours to ensure the many details beyond construction are thoughtfully prepared, helping the church be ready for worship from the very first day.

As we near the finish line, we are reminded that this project has always been about more than constructing a building. Working together with joy, generosity, and a shared purpose is itself a testimony. One of our neighbors recently shared how encouraged they were after witnessing volunteers from across the country come together to install the roof. We pray that the same spirit of unity, service, and Christian love will continue to bless our community for many years to come.
