Project description: New Life Church is getting new life in the form of a 6,308-square-foot addition and 4,432-square-foot renovation to several existing classrooms as well as the lobby and vestibule area, according to Hambey Construction officials. The addition is mostly geared toward the youth of the church and upon completion will include a 2,432-square-foot kids’ auditorium, plus three offices, three classrooms, a workroom and a lobby. The church website notes that over half of its facility is dedicated to a secure and fun environment for children, plus a teen church that meets at the same time as the adult service with its own worship band. To fund construction and renovation efforts, the church is conducting a capital campaign dubbed the Make Room Project.
