With a desire to touch the community in a family worship setting First Pentecostal Church consulted the McKnight Group for Church Design Build services and after careful planning purchased an existing “box” building that features a clear span and large parking lot. Former use has provided notoriety within the community – everyone knows where this is! This provided an affordable and flexible structure for a church design that works functionally as well as economically. This project is under way with local engineering and sub-contractor talent engaged. An early Fall completion is expected.
