Come Grow with Us!
At Manchester Park, we have completed an addition to our existing structure that has doubled the size of our previous building. These new rooms include a large fellowship hall, ladies' classroom, library, office and restroom facilities. We are now better able to serve our community and can work even harder at bringing more people to the Lord's Church.
Now that our addition is complete, please enjoy these images from the project's beginning to end!
