Grand View Church does it again

The new Next Generation Building and surrounding courtyard for Grandview Church in Dunnellon.

DUNNELLON Would you believe a church that has performed two miracles?

After building and paying off its church building in record time last year, Grand View Church in Dunnellon essentially has done it again.

Pastors James and Debbie Watts held a ribbon cutting on April 26 for their new youth facility, called the Next Generation Building.

Construction started in January and, by the week of April 14, the church had raised enough cash through offerings that it was able to receive a certificate of occupancy and were within two weeks of opening their doors to the congregations youth.

Members of the church, 12401 SW County Road 484, paid for everything outright. The building cost $245,000. The entire project including courtyard, site work, engineering, permitting, and so on cost more than $300,000.

The church has no mortgage and held no formal fundraisers. It did it all by passing the collection plate.

This was reminiscent of Grand Views announcement in February 2013, when it spent only 14 months paying off the $490,000 mortgage on the main building.

As with the youth building, that fund success was accomplished without any special drive.

Our previous youth area was about the size of a kitchen in our main building. Its amazing to have a place like this for our kids, said Len Campbell, church media director. Well do praise worship, teaching, play time and game activities. This is a very big change. Were looking forward to seeing how our young people respond to our new building.
