Vision

  • Transform a gambling casino into a Holy Place for preaching, praying, and ministry.
  • Reach the surrounding community by creating a central location visible from the highway.

Challenge

  • Young church, limited funds.
  • Casino interior not conducive to church atmosphere, needed to remove all interior walls plus a cash vault to create an open area for sanctuary use.

Solution

  • Use an aggressive volunteer labor force to do 90% of work.
  • Re-used as many on-site materials (chairs, carpet, wall paneling, signage) as possible.
  • Worked with the city on re-use of the facility.
  • Complete transformation, adding signage to the beautiful exterior to appealing to drivers on the major highway.
