Alvarado Church Celebrates Completion of New Facility

A dedication service at the Alvarado Seventh-day Adventist Church celebrated the completion of its new facility on Oct. 5, 2024. A committed group of people from Maranatha Volunteers International was instrumental in framing the structure the year prior. Due to supply delays and inclement weather, they were unable to install all the trusses; however, the volunteers assisted with numerous other projects.

The volunteers had participated in the Maranatha tradition of scripture signing, writing their favorite scriptures on the interior frames before the sheetrock was hung. Alvarado church members gathered to add their favorite scriptures to the frames on Jan. 20, 2024, before the inside was completed.

The exterior was finished in March 2024, and a “green tag” affirming that the construction complied with city requirements was issued in June 2024. The inside wiring, insulation, sheetrock, painting, flooring and plumbing were completed by mid-August, preparing the way for interior finishing.

It was a glorious day in October when church members gathered to dedicate the structure. We appreciate the volunteers and donors who helped us complete this project, and we anticipate the day when it is debt-free.
