Construction Update | Demo at Kleinert

Tuesday, February 21, 2023

We have an exciting update on our progress with the renovations at our Kleinert campus.

We have now completed our 2nd week of demolition work and are making a lot of progress in such a short period of time. The plans include building a new sanctuary and renovating the existing building (old sanctuary, offices and classrooms) into new offices, classrooms and communal space. The stained glass from both Kleinert and Jefferson has been incorporated into the designs.
