the need

Yahweh has blessed Christ is Lord church and we are bursting at the seams! 


We are at capacity at our Sunday morning service and, since we’ve had to push seating all the way to the back wall, we effectively have no entryway and fellowship area. Sunday worship is crowded!


Additionally, our classrooms can barely contain the kids and adults in our Sunday Bible Classes and some of them are forced to meet in the sanctuary while beautifully noisy after-service fellowship is still going on. On Wednesday evenings the Encounter youth ministry is practically sardined into our largest classroom and will soon not be able to squeeze in any more young people.

building together because christ is lord

A new building will provide: 

  • Much larger worship area
  • Additional classrooms
  • New larger nursery
  • New staff workspaces
  • Additional Restrooms
  • Large lower level for additional ministry activity and future expansion, and the Ability to renovate and repurpose original building for improved use.


THE VIsion

We earnestly want to share the rich blessings that God is pouring out on us here at Christ is Lord church with more and more people in our community. His gifts are just too good to keep to ourselves!


But because of our current facility constraints we are running up against roadblocks to allowing more people to experience what God is doing here.


Our vision is to create plenty of space to allow us to welcome many more people into the warmth and light of Yahweh’s kingdom work here at Christ is Lord.

A Note from Pastor Jonathan

As a pastor, I am thrilled about this building expansion! Not because I’m interested in constructing a larger facility, but because I’m excited to create space for more people to experience the wonderful kingdom work that Yahweh is doing here at Christ is Lord. 


He has been incredibly generous to us, and we want to share his blessings with as many people as possible. This expansion will undoubtedly support our mission for years to come!

first fruits banquet

On Saturday, Feb. 7 we held a wonderful event of celebration and invitation called the First Fruits Banquet.


We had a delicious dinner in a cozy and elegant environment. We were encouraged and challenged by pastor Eric Westlake from First Lutheran Church in Zumbrota, MN as he shared from 1 Chronicles 29 and shared from his church's personal story of expansion and growth.


Next Josh Wiedenbeck walked us through the exciting renderings and 3D walkthrough video of the building plan.


After this, Jonathan revealed that of the $3.5 million needed for the project, the leadership and anonymous donors had already committed $2 million!!! That leaves just $1.5 million for the rest of the congregation to raise.


We are excited to see how our God will lead us!
