Pastor’s Perspective
According to Pastor Aaron, “Even before the
project planning began, I was informed that a lot of
pastors leave after a major building project because
they are distracted by the disruptions, meetings, and
fundraising cycles. I didn’t want that to be me and at
the same time, I didn’t want construction to take away
from my primary responsibilities. The advice I was
given was to let this be the church’s project, not my
project. I don’t know how we could have accomplished
a project of this magnitude without highly committed,
capable leaders, team members, and partners with a
great deal of integrity, like Horst. It has been invaluable
to know that we have someone in our corner that is
looking out for us and has our best interests in mind.”

Fast Forward to Present
Now several years after the completion of this phase of
construction, State College Alliance Church continues to
thrive. Pastor Aaron reports that the Family Life Center
continues to provide them with the space they need to
hold all kinds of events and outreach programs that they
had only dreamed of previously. Their congregation has
continued to grow because of this capacity for program
growth and they have hopes for ongoing expansion
in the future. In reflecting on the project, his advice to
churches considering a project is “Trust the journey.”
