Nine years ago MBC began to investigate building new facilities. In 2008 the church agreed to build once certain Key Indicators were in place. An amazing offering on Sunday 25th April 2010 that exceeded one million dollars meant we were in a position to start building stage one on 6 September 2010. By February 2011 stage one was complete with new offices and the new lounge fully functional and ready for our Alpha course. Where to from here? Whilst plans are being completed for the next stage (the new auditorium and extending the kindy), we need to build our funds. This next stage will cost closer to $2 than $1 million, so we require significant funds to be released before we commence on the next leg of the journey. BUT BUILDING A NEW FUTURE IS MORE ABOUT BUILDING US than it is about money or facilities. So whilst we continue progressing the physical bilding programme, we are working at building the Body; encouraging personal growth as Christ's disciples and enabling a greater awareness and commitment to reaching out with God's love. Our DiGs (discipleship groups) are our primary way of building for the future. After all, whilst physical building facilities will help us enormously, unless we are built up in faith and mature as disciples we will take these blessings to ourself rather than use them to God's glory. |
