Today, the church has 82 members plus a growing number of children and offers 5 Sunday school classes each week for children and adults, as well as a nursery program during the worship service. We host fellowship and other events for our members and outreach events for the community (such as Financial Peace University) as we are able.
It has always been the vision of Shore Harvest to reach out and draw in new friends and members from the surrounding community, but we lack adequate facilities and the space to do this effectively (3500 total square feet).
The current location is limited by: No Sunday school classrooms No fellowship hall No true kitchen facility (Fire code prohibits a stove or full-size oven) Only two restrooms No true reception area Limited parking No outdoor “play” space
Clearly, the confines of our physical space are disproportionate to the work we feel called to do in our community. It’s time to grow!
With more than three times the square footage of the space we now occupy on Brooks Drive, the Moose building will accommodate: both a sanctuary and a fellowship hall plenty of classroom space and offices the commercial kitchen is already equipped with the necessary appliances and plenty of workspace The number of restrooms for men and women are appropriate for a building of this size.
Consider the ministry possibilities: Vacation Bible School Community picnics, games and other outreach events Talbot Interfaith Shelter in the winter Fellowship dinners and retreats Seminars and presentations by popular Christian speakers Weddings and other special events
