It was accepted into the Evangelical Covenant Church during the 2006 Annual meeting.<\/p>\n<p>The church currently meets in a local middle school facility. Its new building will be situated on five acres of property purchased in 2005. The initial building will be relatively small, with a narthex, a temporary sanctuary and a children\u2019s area.<\/p>\n<p>Construction is expected to be completed this year or early in 2008. Plans for the future include adding a permanent sanctuary and a youth room.<\/p>\n<p>The location will give the church more visibility because it is located on a main road. Pastor Joe Muzzi and his family currently live in a farmhouse on the property.<\/p>\n<p>The $1.85 million project is being funded in part by a loan from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/ncp\" target=\"_blank\">National Covenant Properties<\/a>. The pastor says the congregation has been looking forward to this day for years, setting aside donations and money from fundraisers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/newswire?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=4607&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOUTH LYON, MI (July 19, 2007) \u2013 Crossroads Community Covenant Church broke ground for its new building on July 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
