The inaugural service will begin at 10 a.m. with the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
“We can’t think of a better way to begin the New Year than to transition from our former location at WOG Southeast to our new campus at WOG Dutch Square," said Senior Pastor Eric Davis said. "Sunday we will celebrate our God, our source and keeper, the one who has purposed us to reclaim and restore this property for His people. Our resounding theme throughout this extensive renovation project has been that of Nehemiah’s vision for Israel in the Bible. And that is for a city to be repaired, a people restored back to God and a community of faith revived. The Lord has blessed us with a unique opportunity to serve this community and we thank God for equipping us with the tools to do just that."
