Where are we with the “Breaking Ground …” campaign?    In February 2006, the Long Range Planning Committee began the search for an architect to partner with Wall Highway Baptist to develop drawings for the new worship center, Education buildings, and a Family Life Center (FLC)..
   After several months of reviewing the information and prayer, the committee selected  Chapman Sisson Architects of Huntsville to partner with WHBC.
   You can find more details  about Chapman Sisson Architects at their website, www.chapmansisson.com .
   We ask that you please remember to pray for the team working on financing options as well as the entire Breaking Ground Team  campaign.

Growth is happening all around us!
    As people continue to move into our area, God brings more people to Wall Highway Baptist Church. The crowded hallways, foyer, and Worship Center are evidence that God is at work in our midst. Just Imagine what God has in store for our church as we trust Him throughout this campaign!

   Over the past four years, the expansion question has been addressed. An initial report was adopted from the Long Range Planning Committee that stated our need to build.

   As we pray for God's leadership and direction in our giving, we must remember that expanding our Worship Center and educational facilities enables us to share Christ with more people. Our new building will provide room for continued growth as we will be able to seat more than 3 times what our existing worship center seats. But it is not about the size of the building, but rather about the people we will reach and disciple for Jesus Christ using these buildings as our base for ministry.

   Careful planning has gone into designing a worship center than remains intimate while increasing capacity. An enlarged choir loft and stage will better support our music ministry, and the addition of a music suite will enable the choir and orchestra to rehearse in close proximity to the stage rather than in the worship center as people are arriving for church. The new foyer will accommodate our growing congregation and serve both as a fellowship area and a place to get ministry information.

   Continue to pray and seek God's direction for your part in this faith journey. God has entrusted us with His resources, and we are called to be good stewards of all He has given us.
