We're talking with West Ridge High School and working to finalize an agreement. We'll begin meeting there sometime after the first of the year, and we'll announce the exact date as soon as the rental agreement is signed.Our plan is to start with one service, ready to grow into two. We believe this facility best serves our needs: it has abundant parking and is accessible to everyone, including older adults and people with disabilities.

As of now, Christmas services are December 23 and 24 at our Center Street location. That could change, but that is the plan for now.

• Center Street: The building is still technically owned by Indian Springs Baptist Church, and we will let it go back to them.• Dewey Avenue: Leased out, so it is now budget neutral.• Johnson City and Gray: Continuing as they are.• Gray Ministry Center: Home to our Spanish-language congregation, the church office, and our equipment storage.

We believe we will be able to create an amazing space for City Kids, far better than what we have today, with a very secure check-in, great flow, and of course a nursery.

We see a combination of home groups, special rallies at the Gray Ministry Center, and possibly renting other facilities for youth events. Our student ministry team will release more specific plans for the first 90 days of the year.

We are still working out that plan and will share it soon.

This move opens up many outreach opportunities in our community, and we will have the resources and budget to pursue them.

Everything we need to do mobile church with excellence:• Custom cases to protect our sound and production equipment• "City Kids in a box": mobile units with a TV and supplies for each age group• Everything for our mobile café and welcome centerIf we do not raise all of it, we are going anyway, and we will figure it out. Our gifts do not decide whether we go. They decide how well and how fast we go.

These buildings have been such a financial burden that our savings are limited, and we want to protect our emergency fund.The money we save each year will be invested through our church budget, with the church decidingtogether how those resources go into ministry.
