What Are We Doing Here?

Take time to briefly explain to the congregation the need for this facility and what it will enable the church to do.

Scripture Reading

“These I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” —Isaiah 56:7

"And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." —

Message

We rejoice today as we come for the occasion of breaking ground for this new facility. Our prayer is that this spot will be Holy Ground and will (until The Lord returns), always bring glory to God. We now, as ambassadors of Jesus Christ, take the first step by breaking ground for the Short Creek Baptist Church Ministry Center and Fellowship Hall. May this facility be erected to His praise, a permanent witness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of this community, a place of worship, spiritual growth, and inspiration as we grow together in Christ.
