Seventeen-year-old Braelinn Baptist Church held a groundbreaking ceremony

Sunday in the middle of its 94-acre tract. Bounded by Ga. Highway 74 North

and Dogwood Trail, the initial phase of construction will provide a 12,000-square-foot,

600-seat multiuse worship facility.

It will house Braelinn's student ministries and later serve as the

church's temporary worship center when it moves from its current facilities

at 777 Robinson Road in Peachtree City.

The master plan calls for a permanent 1,500-seat worship center, which

will be Phase II, a children's theater, the student ministries complex,

and a dedicated facility for Braelinn Community Services.

The initial multiuse facility will eventually serve as Braelinn's

sports outreach center.

Construction for the initial building is already underway, and completion

of the building is scheduled for February, 2005.
