Update: Church Building Community Swimming Pool

In February I posted about a four year-old church (Harvest Church in Billings, MT) planning to building a community swimming pool.

I recently e-mailed Harvest Church and got a response from Ben Kerns about the status of the project. Here's the details:

As far as an update, we don’t have that much new to report.

We are one year in on a three year commitment that families from our congregation made to help raise money for our project that we call “Raise The Water”. We delayed the construction because of the extreme rise in construction cost over the last 9 months. We are still moving forward on the project and will break ground as soon as the necessary funds are in.

Not only is our congregation giving to the project but we are also pursuing appropriations and grants that may be available to us.

Thanks
Ben Kerns
Executive Pastor
Harvest Church

I don't understand the post.

Really enjoyed your United 93 review.

Wow. A church with a swimming pool. So I guess baptisms won't be a problem anymore...

...are they cutting the locals a deal on cheap swimming?
