The Eureka (Mont.) Church family had about 20 members when it became a company in July 1996, and a church in July 2000.

Our church family is growing, and we need a church home of our own so we don't have to meet in rented facilities or church members' homes. We praise the Lord that our little congregation has grown to about 50 members, plus visitors, but we really need a place more suitable for church!

We took the matter to the Lord, and He blessed us with a beautiful piece of land, just out of town on a hilltop overlooking the entire valley. Our official ground breaking took place last July.

We were able to purchase the land, put in a well, clear the building spot for the church, put in a driveway, and still come out money ahead. At our Nov. 20 business meeting, we voted to accept the building and financial plans.

If it’s the Lord's will, we will get started on the actual building project in May 2006 and hope to be in our new church by September 2006 for evangelistic meetings we have planned with evangelist Jason Morgan.
