We're Moving
Five Lakes Church will move to a new location for worship this year! Healthy things grow, and the growth of our faith family led us to begin the process of expansion in 2018. After 6 years of praying, planning, preaching, baptisms, and lives changed by the love and mercy of God, the time to move is here!
Timeline expectations
(subject to change with construction schedules and developments related to the sale of our current facility):
Principle construction at Mitchaw underway, packing at McCord Road, installation projects and landscaping at Mitchaw, goal for substantial completion by end of May
Goal for occupancy at Mitchaw, contractor punch list underway, more packing at McCord, more installation projects at Mitchaw, beginning to move

Serve your faith family this summer by joining a team to help complete the build and make the move.
