Steps to Building a Home

Paperwork 

Rezoning paperwork is almost complete! Three years and counting are behind us and approvals are just ahead. We have one more 15-day waiting period for public reviewal, the fire/ecology permissions are in process, and then we are done.

House plans are in the final stages as the local engineers finish up the last adjustments and get them back to us! They are working with the MEP engineer to coordinate the HVAC and plumbing work with the foundation design to ensure all penetrations and sleeves are located correctly for these systems as we get ready to begin pouring.

A building permit will be applied for as soon as we have all the previous paperwork listed in hand, hopefully by the beginning of April. We will also hand everything over to our contractor at this point for an estimate so we can have some idea of what we’re looking at over the months ahead.  

Keep checking back for updates. House plans will be available for viewing, as well as goals broken down into smaller projects so that you can be involved in making this dream become reality!

Ongoing ministries

Orphanage Outreach Every Monday we join Galya Pomerlyan and her team to spend a few hours at an orphanage outside of town. The older classes consist of mostly boys, but we do have four girls that come most Mondays. Galya’s desire is to show up and show Jesus in very practical ways. She wants each of these young adults to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is a God and He loves each of them personally—they’re not just a face in the crowd. When they graduate in the coming years, they will know there are people who care about them and are there if they need them. We are so grateful for Galya and the team we have with her.  

Small Group - On Wednesdays we meet with a small group of graduate orphans in the context of a drop-in center. We have tea, coffee, and snacks, as well as ping pong and other games, music, and end with Bible study and prayer together. Some of these kids I’ve known most of their lives, others have joined us in the past couple years, but it’s always encouraging to see a remnant that hasn’t succumbed to the statistics and are asking for more of God’s Word. Thank you New Hope Church for making this possible and for giving us a place to meet!
