Nazarene Church Breaks Ground on Debt-Free Building Expansion
Shipshewana Church of the Nazarene held a Ground
Breaking Ceremony, on Sunday, April 17, to kick-off
construction on a 2,200 square-foot building addition.
“The most exciting part of the story,” said Pastor
Andy Dayton, “is that God is building His church debt
free!” The church has raised over $160,000 to pay for the
expansion. The new construction will include increased
foyer space, new rest rooms, a new infant nursery, and
over 1,000 square feet of unfinished basement for
future classrooms.
Shipshewana Church of the Nazarene built their
current building 50 years ago, added on in 1973, and
built a parsonage in 1986. “We are just continuing
to grow on the foundation that was laid before us,”
said Pastor Dayton. “That’s why our ground breaking
included charter members and children. Our past is
embracing our future!”
The church is located at 2695 N 900 West, between
250 N and Shipshewana Lake. Drive by to watch the
construction, or visit ShipshewanaNazarene.com.
