Quick Stats

What: Construct needed building while building relationships with other men
Where: Center Pointe Community Church, Lexington, SC
When: May 25-June 2, 2012
Cost: $200.00 per man. $25 discount if payment received/postmarked by April 30, 2012. $50 discount for each dependent child. (Do not let lack of funding dissuade you -- we have partial and full scholarships.)

We are going to Lexington, South Carolina, the week of 25 MAY-2 JUN, 2012 to construct part of a 24000+ square foot building for Center Pointe Community Church (CPCC). They are part of the South Carolina Baptist Association. CPCC is currently worshipping at a temporary location 1.4 miles from the 7.5 acre building site, which is across the road from a middle school (a high school and grammar school are within 2 miles as well). Our goal is to get the central worship center “in the dry” (approximately 8100 sq. ft.). Thankfully, the roof is 3/12 pitch and there will be plenty of work below for the altitude-challenged.

Please note: The first official function for this trip will begin at 8:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, 25 MAY. Groups are encouraged to arrive 2-3 hours prior. First provided meal for the C4C general construction team will be Saturday morning breakfast.

Also note: Friday, 1 JUN is planned as a full workday and Saturday, 2 JUN is a travel day home. If there is still work to be done on Saturday, we will ask for volunteers. Our project coordinators will determine when we have reached our building objective of leaving the construction project in a safe, structurally sound environment with our tasks substantially completed and suitable for the group that follows C4C.

Pray

May God alone get the glory for the work He has called us to do. Please pray for CPCC and for C4C. Pray that we don’t lose our focus -- which is to make, nurture, and equip disciples for Jesus Christ by building men of character and godliness – by getting caught up in the complexity of this project.
