With structural damage too severe for repairs, the church will tear down its main sanctuary and start fresh—honoring the original design with a white exterior, red doors, and a steeple, while updating for modern safety. Reverend David Mears, a former construction worker, leads the effort, expecting a 18-24 month rebuild. They’ve raised $120,000 in donations and have insurance covering $2 million, though costs may rise. While grieving the loss, they see this as a chance to create a more accessible, functional space—holding services online and at a funeral home in the meantime. The stained glass windows may be salvaged, and a 1950s addition will be refurbished, preserving some history while building a stronger future.
