NEW chekiye church

The initial concept for the new church was presented to the Chekiye Baptist Church Building Construction Committee and its members in May 2014. Approval for the detailed planning and preparation of the construction was granted immediately.

The committee originally intended to demolish the existing church building and rebuild on the same site. However, one major challenge arose: the new design required a seating capacity of 3,000—far beyond what the original plot could accommodate. We recommended acquiring additional land to meet the expanded requirements.

​

Though initially hesitant due to the anticipated costs, the committee eventually agreed to the proposal. Fortunately, a swampy area located just behind the existing church was available. While it seemed unpromising at first glance, it offered the necessary space for the project.

Our four years of collaboration with the church committee have been marked by a warm and productive working relationship, which continues to this day. We sincerely wish them a smooth and swift completion of the construction.
