We’re starting out back today—right in front of the Student Ministry Building.
Which (plot twist) is soon to become the front of the church. Weird? Yes. Exciting? Also yes.
The sewage manhole here is now officially encased in fresh concrete. Once it cures enough to handle the weight of your minivan (or Max’s truck), I’m betting the crew will restripe this lot…
…and then, friends, we’ll finally get our parking back. ????
Hard to believe, but this will soon be the front entrance of our whole campus.
It’s a lot easier to picture now with walls going up—when it was just dirt, it was nearly impossible to imagine.
And fun fact for the newcomers: this spot used to be the staff parking lot!
(I’d say this is a much better use of space!!)

Y’ALL. Big news.
See those giant yellow-wrapped bundles? ????
Hint: they’re not oversized floaties for the world’s most ambitious pool party.
???? RAISE. THE. ROOF. ????
Yes—that’s the actual roof for our Worship Center, delivered and waiting to be installed!
In other big news—the Dungeon is BACK! ????
Those are some serious spikes.
Do NOT cross Pastor Eric—he’s apparently got a medieval torture device in his back pocket. ????

Rain, rain, fall away,
God’s the one who clears the way.
The slab is set, the work goes on—
And puddles make great splash pads, y’all. ????️????

This window is HUGE!! ????
It’s one of the tall windows in the new Worship Center… perfectly framing a beautiful view of… the fire hydrant. ????????
(Don’t worry—the real view will be much better once landscaping arrives. For now, let’s just call it “art.”)
Behold: electricity in action. ⚡️
Where does it come from? You guessed it… the Zap Zone.
Still waiting to see if this outlet also powers the espresso machine. Priorities, people. ☕️????
Look up—our fire sprinkler system has arrived! ????????
Very reassuring to know that if things ever get too fired up in here, we’ve got a plan.
(Though let’s be honest… it’ll probably be the espresso machine’s fault. ☕️????)
Also, I’m beginning to think I might have a caffeine addiction if every part of construction makes me think of coffee.
And last—but definitely not least—my very professional (read: not professional at all) video tour of the construction site! ????????
Warning #1: If you get carsick, this shaky cam might not be your friend.
Warning #2: Even if you don’t get carsick, this shaky cam might still not be your friend.
About These Updates
This is a casual, behind-the-scenes look at the Worship Center construction at Trinity. I’m Krista Gordon, Communications Director, armed with a phone camera and curiosity, a pretty consistent track record of confusing water pipes with electrical things, and an AI buddy who helps turn my construction confusion into comedy.
I may not know much about construction, but here’s one thing I do know: as Pastor Eric often reminds us, “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1). Watching this Worship Center rise right outside our offices is a tangible reminder that our true foundation is built on Christ alone.
To Him be all the glory!
