Atascocita United Methodist Church is embarking upon a bold and ambitious expansion plan designed to carry the church into the next decade. The campaign, called Field of Dreams, will be raising funds to build a 550-seat Sanctuary, a Music Arts room, additional classrooms, and a large gathering space.

This project is the culmination of extensive feasibility studies that have been conducted by members of the church over the past 18 months, which showed that the church has experienced the same strong growth that our community has experienced.

We are rapidly outgrowing our facilities in every way, said Andy Noel, senior pastor of the church. Without a bold step forward, we are going to be challenged to stay relevant in our rapidly expanding community.

The church views this campaign as a means by which exciting new ministries can be offered to the community.

Construction will begin in late 2012 with expectations of expanding into the new space by Christmas 2013. The Field of Dreams campaign is chaired by Jim and Marlene Mastin, active members of the church and the community. The Mastins, along with Pastor Andy Noel and Associate Pastor Kristin Bogart, have gathered an extensive Campaign Leadership Team of more than 70 people.

It is really impressive to experience the vast amount of talent and dedication that this leadership team brings to the campaign, said Jim Mastin. I am confident that this campaign is going to respond to the calling of our church in a powerful way.

Atascocita United Methodist Church is located in Atascocita at 19325 Pinehurst Trail Drive. To find out more about the church and about this campaign go to http://www.aumc.org.
