Church on the Hill UPDATE:

We are excited that work is nearing completion. We are awaiting the doors and some painting.

Century Construction is the church's liaison to all of the contractors.

Leslie West is the church's liaison to Century Construction.

Please contact Leslie with any questions or concerns and she will pass them on to the contractor. Email or text is preferred at leslie@wwnash.com or 804-307-3282. With safety as a top priority, the area is a work zone so contractors and their employees should be the only persons in the area. Century has requested one point of contact for all communications. Any conversation with Century must be handled by Leslie West.
