		<description>What happens now? The church changes to meet people where they are. 

Our church has grown substantially over the past few years. We built our "new" building and opened it in September 1999. This was after meeting for about 7 years in rented facilities: first a school gym, then in a strip mall, and finally in an industrial park. Our new auditorium was built to hold our existing attendance, but we immediately went to 2 services to spread the attendees out, and therefore not seem so full. In April 2004 our addition was completed, again, to hold our existing attendance, but continuing with 2 services. Our services are at capacity now (already) less than 2 years later... at least until the children are dismissed. :)
