Making another land offer!

Since hitting a slowdown in the negotiation for the site on Paluxy highway, the team has been looking for potential alternatives. Jane Adams helped us find a great residential property of 24 acres, on Old Acton Highway. The lot is a little narrow in the front but it’s really a great location and a really beautiful setting with a live oak forest in the north half. There’s a fairly new house with open interior and great outdoor features (think outdoor baptistry) in the front and back. If things work out, our architect would have the opportunity to get creative with how to tie in this stone house that looks like Granbury. The team has just finished the contract to make an offer on this site tomorrow. Please pray for God’s hand in the negotiation process as he show us if this is the place where our building should be.

Programming has begun

On Monday night we kicked off the Programming effort with our Architect, Kit Johnson. Programming is the process where small teams of people work together to provide data, ideas, and other input to the architect to develop a master plan for the buildings. We’re working really hard to think about how facilities can support our mission and values at StoneWater. The last thing we want to do is to build a monument instead of a tool to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ. As Jeremy put it in our launch meeting, “Our purpose is about the harvest, not just building the barn.”
