"The groundbreaking

service was the culmination of the three-year vision casting process of

discerning God's call to reach out to the community in ministry,"

a church spokesperson said. "With the limited space available for

growth on the present six-acre Windgate Road property, church members

realized that making more room for more people could only be accomplished

The facility

planned for the first phase of construction is a 50,000 sq. ft. multipurpose

building for worship and adult ministries. The three-story building will

include nursery and children's education space, a 1,000-seat worship center,

administrative offices, and classrooms for youth and adults.

In addition

to the new facility being built on the Robinson Road campus, plans are

underway to renovate the present church building for a Children's and

Youth Ministry Center for Peachtree City. The existing sanctuary will

be converted to a gymnasium, making Peachtree City United Methodist Church

available to the community as a recreation facility.

The current

ground and first floor classrooms will be outfitted for infants and preschool

age children, enabling the Mother's Morning Out and pre-school programs

of the church to accommodate twice as many children. The existing fellowship

hall will be converted to a state-of-the-art youth lounge, and third floor

classrooms will be dedicated to children's and youth programs.

Subsequent

phases for the Robinson Road campus will include more educational spaces,

a dedicated sanctuary, a youth building, a Boy Scout/Girl Scout facility,

and outdoor community recreational/leisure space. For more information,

call the church office, 770-487-6499.
