Expansion Project
Need
Due to a steady growth of the community from immigrants, refugees, people pursuing employment opportunities, and our own children, we need an adequate facility to address both our current and future needs.
Expansion Project
Goals
Space
Our community has grown from about 150 people to about 700+ people and we expect this number to increase in future. We need more space for programs, dining area and parking to accommodate this growth.
Education/Sunday School
We started our Sunday School with about twenty children and this year our enrollment has grown to 125 children. The school’s expansion is greatly needed as we project continuous growth in the coming years.
Recreation and Sports for Youth Activities
We have no indoor place for sports or recreational activities. While we have started our youth program and we need this facility to attract our children and youth, as they are our future.
Research Activities and Need for Library and Computer Facilities
In this era of Information technology, we need to provide our school children and youth with computer, Internet and library facilities. This will not only help them in their projects and research activities but will also provide teachers an additional teaching tool.
Community/Outreach Activities
A multi-purpose robust building with religious, cultural, recreational, and outreach activities will ensure a cohesive and spiritual growth of the community
