Komstad Evangelical Covenant Church


We're Building!

Over the last few years, the church has been working toward adding new fellowship space to the church facility. Long narrow steps made it difficult for people to get from the first floor to the basement, and even the steps to the front door can be difficult or impossible for anyone who needs a wheelchair or other assitance.

Last winter, the church decided on a plan. And in January of 2009, they decided to go ahead and build the new addition, which will eliminate the steps at the front of the church and add a fellowship hall with kitchen and restrooms on the same level as the sanctuary.

We have begun building the frame and shell of the fellowship hall, which will include initial plumbing and heating. When that building is able to stand safe against the South Dakota weather, we will continue the work as we have resources until the new fellowship hall is ready for tables, chairs, and people.

A lot of work has already been completed this summer--dirt work, cement foundations, framing, roofing, and some of the plumbing. Windows are being installed and the addition will soon be sided. The entrance to the church is now at ground level, without steps, covered by a canopy that will offer protection from the weather.

We have a few sketches of the construction plans, and we can also show several new pictures of the church as it is now, or as it was several years ago, before any of the construction efforts began. Follow the links at the top or bottom of the page.

And we have a gallery of construction photographs now. You can find it in several ways, but the easiest is to use the link on this page.

If you have any questions, drop us an e-mail. I'll give you the address in code below. Just type in the letters as you see them, but substitute an @ sign for the "(at)" that I've written. Don't leave spaces.

Sorry to make this so difficult. It's all because of the internet spam problem.

And keep watching. We'll try to keep putting up photos of the work as it goes along.

In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
