Out with the old.....

My husband is a church planter....meaning, we came to a place where there was a need of an Independent Baptist KJB preaching church and started, or "planted" one. We have been here for a little over 4 years. We started in an old high school

We rented out the tiniest room ever, and had 12 our first service.

This is the room before it was set up!! SOOOO SMALL, but we were so excited!

We then moved accross the hall to a nicer, bigger room....with really orange chairs!

Then we were able to remodel that room...

About a year after we started a lady called my husband and told him they were closing their church and was wondering if we would be inerested in their building. We were so excited, but also so broke!! We had the building appraised at $125, 000...and with no money to our name figured it would never happen. The lady wanted the building to go to a good church so she "gave" us the buildng for just $15, 000!!! We were able to have our home church lend us the money and a few months later we moved in.

It has been so wonderful to have a nice building of our own, for almost 3 years now!! We have made some changes, but this week, we made my favorite change so far! We painted the auditorium and said good-bye to the wood paneling.
