A Virtual Tour
What are we hoping to accomplish?
1. Accessibility - A more accessible building helps more people access the gospel.
This renovation will include:
-
A new elevator connecting every level of our building
-
A main-floor accessible washroom
-
An improved layout for easier mobility and access
2. Functionality - Creating more room for connection, growth, and outreach to support ministries like:
-
The Alpha Course
-
Practicing The Way Course
-
Youth & Children's Ministries
-
Outreach Ministry
An investment in our facility is an investment in people and in our community as we seek to work for the good of our city!
When you donate, you’re partnering to build:
-
A welcoming, accessible space for everyone

A functional hub for outreach and discipleship

A base for mission that works for the good of Hamilton
