Q4 2023

Here’s a look at some of the headway we made in Q4 2023:

• The architect will be creating a wonderful campus that will feel like the Texas Hill Country while also using some of the design themes from our Bee Cave and Southwest campuses.

• Our architect is designing a playground that will be centrally located in the courtyard for families to enjoy.

• The team of professionals is also working on providing ample parking and will create multiple walking paths and areas where golf carts can be used to transport people.

• We have explored multiple driveway options with TxDOT, Hays County, and neighbors so cars can enter and exit as efficiently and safely as possible.

• We submitted our drawings to general contractors to get estimates for the project.

• We began a traffic study to confirm safety at entrances based on campus capacity.

• We completed a programming exercise to understand the space requirements for each of our ministries.

• We finished the schematic design phase of the process, and we are now heading into the design development phase.

• Our civil engineer has studied all of the local utilities and has produced a report showing the options we have to serve the campus.
