The new Aptos facility will serve the church elementary and junior high school as well as mid-week and weekend children’s ministries. “It’s a seven-day-a-week building,” said senior pastor René Schlaepfer. “It will be used all week, both day and night, providing daily opportunities to build into the lives of children in our community.”
The three-story building features 22 classrooms, including a specialized music room, art room, computer lab, and science lab. Two office suites and a two-story outdoor amphitheater are also part of the project.
Church and school water usage have been substantially reduced as part of the project. New low-water landscapes were planted throughout church property, and brand new low-flow fixtures were installed not only in the new building, but in every building on campus.
