Nampa church constructs $2.3 million building

Building Harvest Life Church’s first church is both a construction project and a personal one for construction superintendent Tim Mitchell of Mussell Construction.

“Not only am I blessed to be part of my church expanding into a larger facility of our own, but I’m blessed to have the opportunity to build the church,” Mitchell says.

Construction began in October on the 23,569-square-foot church at 11437 W. Orchard Ave., west of Middleton Road in Nampa. The church is set to be finished around May, he said.

Harvest Life was founded in January 1993 with 20 people. Services are held at 2513 Sundance Road. Today the church has more than 700 people and a variety of ministries.

The church bought the land about a year ago. Last month, members walked and prayed through the new building, writing scriptures on the studs that will be covered by the walls and stairs.

“It will be there forever,” Mitchell said. “It was a way to make them feel a part of the project.”

Mitchell wrote a Bible verse from Philippians 3:13:?“Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

Mitchell has worked for Mussell Construction for the past seven years. The company built the Idaho Arts Charter School in Nampa about four years ago and just won the bid to complete a 14,000-square-foot addition for about $1.4 million. Other recent projects include renovations to the Warhawk Air Museum at the Nampa Municipal Airport and to the Canyon County Paramedics Station at Midland and Nampa/Caldwell boulevards.
