A Topping Out Celebration for the New Building!
Join us on Wednesday, November 18 at 2:15PM for the Topping Out Celebration as we mark the placement of the final structural beam in this exciting addition to our church. (Concord United gym parking lot behind church off of Farr Drive)
For us, this milestone is about so much more than construction. It represents answered prayers, faithful generosity, countless hours of hard work, and our shared commitment to creating a place where children can learn, grow, build relationships, and experience God's love.
We can't wait to see you there.
