Today, April 17, we will be having our very first worship service in the new location where our new building is in progress. For the mean time, we will be using the old existing building. We did some minor renovation and repairs for it to look better and more presentable to the people.
This is the latest development as of April 17, 2011
The pictures below is what’s inside the old building. It’s quite small, but this is already a good start for a place of worship.
View from the pulpit.
This is the view from the door in the temporary building.
Sitting capacity of the temporary building is about 40 seats while the on-going building project is about 50 seats.
We are looking forward to expand the new building when God wills it in his time. We are projecting to extend it two more times as big as it is now. That means we are looking forward to have a 150 seating capacity out of the old building. Then are going to make a second floor so that the second floor will be our worship area and the ground floor will be the offices, Sunday school rooms, conference rooms, and the pastoral house. We know it will still take time to do that, but all things are possible.
Having all God’s blessings, Ormoc Lighthouse Christian Ministry will continue to move on towards what God has given us to do. We will continue to reach and make disciples of all nations in the Lord.
Please continue to pray for us as we also continue to serve God. This is only the beginning of the fruitful ministries ahead. 🙂
Hi Pastor Vince & OLCM Family!
I am so happy how God works in building the worship hall for His people! It’s almost 10 years now that the Lighthouse church has been praying for God’s provision for church lot and building. And I am so amazed how God made it possible!
By the way, I have comment on the line — “Then are going to make a second floor so that the second floor will be our worship area and the ground floor will be the offices, Sunday school rooms, conference rooms, and the pastoral house.”—- I would suggest that the whole 1st floor would be the worship hall considering the senior (old-aged) members of the church in the future (Ate Edith, Ate Inday, Ate Betty, ug kami na mu-retire puhon, and other newly-convert senior member in the future) and it would also be a convenient to the rest of the members (people with children, handicapped or even the able-bodied members) not going up and down the stairs (considering there will be no elevator in the building hehe…). It would be nice if offices, Sunday school rooms, conference rooms, and the pastoral house would be in the upper floors. This is just what I see in the future as convenience for the majority for the floor format. Just a suggestion for consideration.
“being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” -Phil. 1:6
God bless OLCM Family! Padayon ta sa pag ministeryo sa katawhan sa Ormoc for their salvation through Jesus Christ.
In Christ alone,
Bro. Dodi
