Union Construction Update: February 2026
prayer moved steadily into action, as each month brought tangible progress toward a space that will
serve families, neighbors, and generations to come.
In July, we celebrated a significant milestone with a groundbreaking ceremony, marking the official
start of the project. Excavation followed in August as the site began to take physical shape.
By October, building plans were approved by Boone County, and November brought several critical steps, including the signing of the sales contract on our current building and the closing of the construction loan.
As the year came to a close, work continued with the final grading of the building footprint and future soccer field in December, followed by the start of footer construction. Momentum continued into the new year with the closing of the out lot in front of the current campus, helping further support the Union Campus project. Each milestone represents more than construction progress. It reflects the generosity, prayers, and shared commitment of our church family to create a place where people can encounter Jesus, find community, and take their next step of faith. Our best days truly are ahead.
