Expanded Loft reopens at The Woodlands United Methodist Church

Seven months of construction is now complete on the expanded Loft building at The Woodlands United Methodist Church.

The Loft worship community will held three identical dedication services to celebrate the building opening: Saturday, Oct. 25 at 6 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 26 at 9:30 and 11 a.m. These will also become the new worship times for the Loft community.

The church will open expanded nursery and childrens areas and a new hospitality area, as well as the renovated worship center, which now seats up to 850 people.

We never imagined Loft worship becoming so popular that we needed to expand, said Dr. Ed Robb, senior pastor.

That tells me were doing something right. The modern music and media-driven format resonates with an audience looking for something different in worship. Weve created a safe place for people to come ask questions and to seek connection with others and with God in new and meaningful ways.

The Loft worship community has been meeting in a gymnasium space on the church campus during construction. Attendance averages 1,400 for three Loft worship services each weekend, causing crowding in previous worship spaces.

The Loft expansion is the third of three building projects to expand the church and its ministries as part of the $20M Imagine capital campaign. The church is expanding to keep pace with new construction in Town Center and overall population growth in The Woodlands and South Montgomery County.
