Citizens in Glendora, CA came together on Wednesday, July 11 at Glenkirk Church to celebrate the official opening of the Gathering Place. Formerly a church administration building, the newly unveiled space is now adorned with barn doors, wood paneled walls and photos of children’s ministry groups. Church staff were proud and excited as they described the expansion as “a safe haven for the youth and a place where the Gospel will continue to deepen its roots through Bible studies and fellowship.”
Representatives from local businesses, city council members and ACCU staff attended the ribbon cutting Darren Thompson, ACCU VP of Corporate Services stated “the Gathering Place will allow youth, families and the Community to engage in fellowship in pursuit becoming fully devoted followers of Christ.” Glenkirk is serving the community and bringing the seven spheres of influence together to spread the Gospel to all. It was an amazing sight to see families, church, government, educators, media, art and business gathered in one place to celebrate, share, and connect. We look forward to seeing the blessings this new space brings to church members and the surrounding community.
