Making Room | Solar Energy! Let the sun shine in!
October 17, 2025We are still Making Room, folks. We're rounding third and headed for home but there's work happening all the time. Upcoming is plaster repair in the Library and Commons, finishing touches on kids' checkin, updating the bathrooms over by the Commons to family bathrooms, opening a pathway to the new Atrium in that location, getting the Club 56 built out and more.
But one exciting milestone that isn't obvious but is quite beneficial is our solar panel array! Last week we laid the first panel and the array is scheduled to start operation on October 27th!
Our installation of a solar array on the roof of the building addition at New City is not just about saving money over time, stewarding our resources well, but about demonstrating care of God's good earth. Since our start in 2009, we’ve wanted our church family's life together to demonstrate the gospel not just in word, but also in action—and this is one small way of doing that. Our solar installation is meant to reflect our desire to live responsibly and thoughtfully in the city we love.
We believe caring for the earth is one way we love both God and our neighbors. Our solar installation is intended to do just that. By investing in renewable energy for our church building, we’re joining in God’s work of creation care and giving a glimpse of the hope we have in Christ who is making all things new.
