Calvary Chapel is on the move
BY CINDY WEELDREYER
Sentinel Faith Page Editor
M
uch like a pregnant woman after
nine months of waiting, the mem-
bers of Cottage Grove’s Calvary Chapel
celebrated the arrival of the long-awaited
day of the fi rst service in their newly re-
modeled building in the Village Shopping
Center. On Sunday, June 14, their dream
fi nally came true. The former Cottage Twin
Theater and Plaza Cleaners building now
houses a large open sanctuary, a children’s
wing, offi ces and a large foyer with cof-
fee bar that can also be used as a meeting
space – and most importantly – more bath-
rooms!
The old adage, “Many hands make for
light work,” proved true in the remodel-
ing project. Approximately 3000 volunteer
hours were invested in a variety of tasks
such as design, sheetrock, texture, paint-
ing, stained fl oors, woodwork, murals and
more.
Kyle Kishen, a local building contrac-
tor, said his biggest challenge was meet-
ing deadlines and coordinating with all the
volunteer helpers.
“When working in construction you are
always pushing to meet deadlines, some-
times demanding that different trades on a
job be fi nished at a certain time,” Kishen
said. “When you are working with many
volunteers you must always be kind and
gracious and accept the effort that is kindly
given no matter the outcome.”
According to Pastor Jeff Smith, it took
roughly nine months from the fi rst day of
clean-up to the fi rst service and approxi-
mately $180,000 in materials and some
professional labor. He said there is more to
be done and the other areas will be com-
pleted as the Lord provides the funds.
“It was a happy adventure working with
Kyle, who is a faithful multi-task servant;
and we are all thankful there is no debt or
loans to pay off,” Smith said.
He noted the signifi cance of living under
limited resources for so long and how the
new facility will give Calvary Chapel the
capability to fulfi ll its purpose of reaching
all generations.
“While the practical things will be im-
portant: more seating, better parking, easy
accessibility from I-5, central location
