Groundbreaking Celebrates New Chapter for Woodlawn Gathering
On Sunday, July 26th at 11:30 a.m., Woodlawn Community Fellowship marked a major milestone with the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Woodlawn Gathering building. Pastor Jonathan Coppedge-Henley led the service, blessing the site and sharing words of vision and gratitude for the future ministry this building will support.
The event brought together members of Woodlawn Community Fellowship, the building committee, representatives from the Western North Carolina Conference of Methodist Churches, Metrolina Builders, and neighbors from the surrounding community. Attendees celebrated this step forward with prayers, smiles, and anticipation for the ways the new space will deepen community connections and expand outreach opportunities.
We are excited to watch the building process and witness how this space will grow to serve our community.
We give thanks for everyone who has contributed time, talent, and resources to bring this project to life. As construction begins, we’ll share regular updates on progress, volunteer opportunities, and ways to support the Woodlawn Gathering. Stay tuned for photos and upcoming invitations to join in the next phases of this exciting journey.
