GOD'S 40 ACRES
In 2001, the members of First
Christian Church began a three-year stewardship campaign called
"God's Challenge Our Choice" to purchase "God's 40 Acres", a parcel
of land on the south edge of Rapid City along the main highway that
leads to Mount Rushmore. God worked wonders through His
people, and at the end of three years, the land was paid in full!
But where God is at work, so is the adversary, and plans to relocate
First Christian Church to the property have been postponed for
various reasons. FCC has experienced challenges and setbacks,
but as we seek to follow God's will in this endeavor we know
|
|
that His timing is perfect. The
property adjoining the 40 acres that was being considered by WalMart
was recently sold at auction to investors. Local realtors have
plans to develop the property to the south into a 300+ housing
community called Hyland Park. They will be bringing in the
necessary infrastructure that is needed before we could begin our
building project. Until then, we will focus on finding new
leadership for FCC to help us continue to follow God's will for our
congregation.
