pray


​Please continue to be in prayer for ABC-Waco and Spring Forth Deaf Church as we embark on this exciting new chapter in the life of our churches.  In particular, pray that we would seek and clearly discern God's will; that God would provide through the generosity of his people, both for the reNEW Campaign and for our General Fund; that this effort would unify and build the faith of God's people and glorify his name.

Progress

The Building Committee has been hard at work partnering with our ministry leaders, contractors, and interior designers to break ground and renew ABC Waco.  Over the last few months, we have repainted and purchased new toys and fixtures for the Toddler Room.  Further updates are in the works for the Children's Area, so stay tuned!

background and vision

In 2020, ABC-Waco enlisted RBDR Architects to prepare a Master Plan for our facilities, which would include the construction of a new sanctuary.  In September, the Governing Board unanimously recommended that the church undertake the first phase of construction by building a new 2000 sq. ft. “Welcome Center” adjacent to the current Family Life Center and renovating the existing lavatories in the Family Life Center and outside the Fellowship Hall, to bring them up to code.  The estimated cost for this initial phase is $871,000, and the church currently has over $700,000 in its building fund.  The proposed “Welcome Center” is a necessary element of the new sanctuary, and building it now will help meet current capacity needs while locking in part of the construction costs that are rising faster than general inflation.

At the same time, the church is weighing more modest updates to our existing facilities, including:
  1. Updates to the Fellowship Hall and Children's Areas
  2. Updates to the worship space in the Family Life Center
  3. Updates to signage throughout the campus
  4. Updates to the office wing
  5. Resealing and restriping of the parking lot
 
The elders have set a tentative goal of raising $300,000 over the next two years for both the construction of the Welcome Center, the renovation of the existing lavatories, and the completion of the various updates listed above.
