Macleay Church Building Project Updates
March 2026 — Building Dried In & Interior Work Advancing
The building is now dried in, with most windows installed, and significant progress is being made by the trades. Fire suppression, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and low-voltage systems (including audio/video) are all actively moving forward. Exterior porches and outdoor areas are also nearing completion in framing.
Next up, the covered entry area at the front will take shape. As the trades complete their work, walls will begin to close in, followed by drywall installation and the transition into finish work — including trim, doors, and other interior details that will bring the space to life.
Over the coming month, we expect continued momentum as rough-in work wraps up, inspections are completed, and visible interior progress accelerates. We’re thankful for how smoothly things are coming together and grateful for the many hands, prayers, and support that continue to carry this project forward. With steady progress, we look ahead with anticipation toward completion later this summer.
