Greenfield Area Christian Center to host open house at new building

Community members are invited to attend a special open house for the new Greenfield Area Christian Center on Saturday, Nov. 17 from noon to 3 p.m. at the building site, 912 N. 5th St., Greenfield.
With the first phase of construction completed, visitors are invited to get a sneak peek of the progress made to date. In addition to enjoying guided tours of the building, visitors will have an opportunity to view interior renderings and future plans. Refreshments and light snacks will be served.
The new building is located on the land adjacent to the existing center and will include the food ministry, New Directions and the relocated Borreson Chapel. As part of the project, the existing Center will be refurbished to house the clothing ministry. Given the ample space of the new center, the opportunity will exist for other organizations within the community to utilize the Center for programs and services.
Recently, the Greenfield Area Christian Center received a bequest from George Waddell in the amount of $20,000, a donation of land from the Nelson and Isabel Black estate, a gift of $20,000 from the Moon family, a gift of $37,598 from Robert and Eleanor Adams and an additional $20,000 from the Waddell estate. The Greenfield Area Christian Center board of directors collectively decided the best way to honor these generous gifts would be to build a new center to better serve the community and fulfill the ministries.
The Greenfield Area Christian Center has launched a capital campaign within the community to secure pledges and donations from churches, businesses, organizations and individuals to raise the $114,000 in construction costs which remain after using the aforementioned bequests.
"We are so thankful for the generous gifts we have received from those who cared so deeply about our community and the missions of the Greenfield Area Christian Center," Lanny Bryant, president of the Greenfield Area Christian Center board of directors, said. "We are excited to open our doors so people can see the progress we've made and begin to envision the possibilities this Center holds for our community."
The Greenfield Area Christian Center was founded in 1985 and is a nonprofit organization 501-c3. Ministries of the Greenfield Area Christian Center include clothing, food, tragic and transient, education and New Directions. These ministries would not be possible without volunteer support and the large donations from local churches, individuals, businesses and community organizations. For those interested in making a donation or pledge, please contact Lanny Bryant at (937) 981-4752.[[In-content Ad]]
