Why We Need It
Our growth has outgrown our space
God has been bringing new people to The Abbey. Growth is a blessing, and it has also revealed real limits in our facilities. Every week we feel them in the nursery, in our youth space, in our classrooms, and in the lack of any room where the whole church can gather.
Nursery
Too small for our youngest
Our nursery is extremely limited and no longer adequately supports the number of infants and toddlers attending each week.
Youth
Not accessible to all
Our youth gathering space is not handicap accessible, so not every young person can fully take part.
Adult Formation
A few rooms of about thirty
Our adult meeting spaces are limited to only a few rooms that comfortably hold approximately 30 people.
Fellowship
Nowhere to gather as one
Outside the sanctuary, there is no space where the entire church can gather for fellowship, ministry, and formation.
As we live into our vision, we need to provision.
What We Hope to Build
A master plan for our campus
In response to these needs, The Abbey has worked with LDD Blueline Architects to develop a conceptual master plan for our property, extending our existing building among the live oaks.
