New Building Tour

After staff meeting on Monday, Mike Despard took a few of us on a tour of the new building. It was pretty cool to see it all taking shape in that dry wall box! Below are some pictures I totally ripped off of Mark Arants blog (http://metropuritan.blogspot.com/). But I was so there too. Mike said I could take people in for tours during non-working hours - so weekends and after 4 on week days. Let me know if you want me to take you around.

This first picture is the entry to what I think is the coolest part. It also shows how spiritual I am. I'll tell you what it is at the end.

The wooden box at the bottom here is the frame for the new baptismal. People will be dunked out here while everyone in the auditorium watches on video feed. It will be full all the time so people can just run in there when the spirit calls them..well, don't quote me on that. In the back ground you can see the new foyer. There are so many windows!

This is back stage. Storage, tech/video room/green room/bathroom.

Looking from the stage out into the new auditorium. It will seat over 1000 people on the main level and 900 on the upper level. No more gym service!

Okay, here's the best part. There's an underground tunnel! It goes from back stage to the back of the seating. It's how the worship team will get out when they're done leading worship. It's also where I plan to spend my free time and schedule all my student meetings. I love heights and tunnles. This place is perfect for me.



Hope you enjoyed the sights!
