Ground is Breaking this Weekend for the
Habitat for Humanity Faith Build!
| |
|
CHPC is participating in the 2025 Habitat Faith Build to help Matt, his daughter and granddaughter build a new home. The build site is located at 1601 E. Sevier Avenue in Kingsport. There are several ways you can support Habitat - with prayers, financial gifts, or service! We are hoping to raise a total of $5,000 to support this project. We also need 8 volunteers to work on the house for each of the following dates: February 25, 26, 28 and March 1. Projects include: blocking for cabinets, installation of attic ladder, attic flooring, outside corner eave "bird boxes", and daily cleanup of the work site. Volunteers can sign up on the schedule located in the Narthex or by calling the church office. All volunteers will need to complete this waiver to participate in the build. Thanks for your support turning this house into a home!

Campus Improvement Committee Questionnaire | |
|
Since its founding in 1947, Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church has undergone significant facility changes to help empower the ministry of our congregation. We believe God is calling us to prepare for another change to ensure our facilities reflect the love and faithfulness of this church family as we seek to be the body of Christ in our community.
A questionnaire was sent to the congregation on Sunday, February 2, to solicit input about  our current facilities and what valuable additions you believe will help sustain our shared ministry for years to come. Thank you for taking the time to thoughtfully answer these questions and for your continued prayers about this important project. This information will be most helpful as we begin to solicit an architect to illustrate a new vision for our facilities. If you have any additional comments or information you would like to share with the committee, please feel free to reach out to any member of the Campus Improvement Committee: Nathan Begue (Co-Chair), Al Doty (Co-Chair), Gretchen Bentley, Tammy Cox, Jonathan Hutchins, Marissa Paulsen, & David Randolph.
