Important Access & Parking Information

Updated as of January 2026.

A Note from the Team:

We’re excited to share continued progress on the construction of our new Men’s Center!

Over the past few weeks, crews have been hard at work building upward as exterior block walls are being laid and reinforced. Scaffolding is now in place as the structure takes shape, and the building is becoming more recognizable with each passing day.

Right now, masons are strengthening the walls by filling reinforced block with grout — an important step that ensures long-term stability and safety for the future residents who will call this place home. While construction can look messy in the moment, every beam, block, and bucket represents forward movement.

This space is being built with intention, prayer, and the belief that lives will be transformed within these walls. Thank you for walking alongside us, for your patience during construction, and for helping make this vision a reality.

We are under construction — but we are OPEN!

Please review the map before arriving to help make your drop-off quick and easy.
