Sacred Spaces
While many churches are in decline, our membership continues to grow across all ages. On Sunday morning and throughout the week, our current buildings are bursting at the seams. Specifically, we have identified these critical needs:
A comfortable, inviting space designed especially for youth
Classrooms for all ages
Gathering space for fellowship before and after
Worship
Wellness ministry expansion
Staff office space
Preschool classrooms
Storage
To meet these needs, we will build a new building filled with irresistible spaces where people can find deeper connections with one another. Beautiful indoor and outdoor gathering spaces will invite people of all ages to participate in life-giving shared experiences and foster a sense of belonging and community.
We will also renovate existing spaces to house our expanded well-being ministry and increase office space for our growing staff.

Recent Progress
View the most recent weekly update from Barringer Construction here.
A construction fence encompasses the parking area adjacent to the Rotunda building (see pink shaded area on this map).
Handicapped and Seniors’ parking spaces have been moved to the small parking area nearest to the front (Providence Road) driveway (see orange and purple shaded area on this map). We welcome drop-off in the Circle for those with mobility challenges.
A new ramp has been installed at the Rotunda entrance.
The back driveway onto Hampton Avenue is closed to cars but you may park on Hampton and enter the building through the CCK doors.
On Sundays, parking is legal on Providence Road in the southbound right lane.
CCK carpool has temporarily shifted to the front circle. During drop-off (Mon - Fri, 8:40 - 9 am) and pick-up (Mon - Thur, 12:30 - 1 pm / Fri 11:30 - 12), access to the parking lot will be blocked at the Portland Avenue entrance and at the light at Colville and Providence. During these times, parking is still available in the small parking lot accessible from Providence Road.
The Center for Wellbeing & Care is now open! See details here.
The renovated Blue Room is back in service.
The Green Room has been moved to the former GoodNews Cafe and is awaiting furnishings, but can be used for meetings in the meantime.
New parking area is now complete and can be accessed via the new entrance on Portland Avenue or from the front parking areas.
Nursery Suites have been renovated to create additional classroom space for CCK during the week and a fresh, welcoming space for Sunday childcare.
The Parlor has been moved to the former “Yellow Room” and has lovely new furnishings.
New, more energy efficient windows have been installed in the St. Francis building.
The duplexes at the corner of Portland Ave. and Providence Rd. were demolished to make way for a new parking area that will increase our overall parking capacity and be accessible from Portland Ave. (Visit this page to learn more about our ministry with Charlotte Family Housing.)
Additional updates and photos will be posted on this page as they are available.
