Church will break ground in March
Christ United Methodist Church
The congregation of Christ United Methodist Church will break ground on their new church building, Sunday March 1, at 10:30 a.m. The congrega¬ tion has been holding Sunday worship services at Crystal Lake South High School for several years. The pastor. Rev. David Decker, says, "The congregation is extremely excited to know their perseverance and hard work is finally bringing them to this day."
The church building will be located at 9009 Algonquin Road, on eight acres just west of Square Barn Road. The site is located in the midst of hundreds of new homes built within the last four years.
The 7,500-square-foot design is a steel structure with a block facade. The multi-use sanctuary will seat 180 in move¬
able seating. There are four classrooms, a spacious nursery room, a conference/library room, two offices, a music room, and a roomy lobby area. The building will be air condi¬ tioned.
Wm. Tonyan and Sons, Inc., of McHenry, has been hired as the general contractor for the project. The construc¬ tion is contracted to be finished by August 1 of this year.
The Christ United Methodist Church congregation has grown to 97 members, with a worship attendance averaging 70. Surrounded by new home developments and continued building, it is expected the con¬ gregation will grow by 50 per¬ cent within the first full year, and 100 percent in two to five years.
