Trinity Church of Lubbock begins contruction of new facility

Trinity Church broke ground on a new facility for the 7002 Canton Ave. campus on Sunday.

Pastors say the $13.7 million, 83,000-square-foot. facility should be completed mid-summer of 2013.

Members of the congregation gathered outside the church by the designated lot with shovels and papers with prayers and scripture written on them.

Barry Moore, executive pastor for Trinity Church, said the new facility will include a 350-seat chapel, Kidsplace and Trinity Central, a commons area.

This is just phase one of the project, he said. We plan on making renovations to our sanctuaries.

Lee Lewis Construction of Lubbock will build the project designed by Lee Architects of Denver.

Moore said the increase in attendance has sparked the need for a bigger facility.

The church has an average weekend attendance of 3,500.

We want to provide a safe state-of-the-art facility where young people can learn and know about God, Moore said.

Carl Toti, senior pastor, said the project is historic for the church. The project should be complete as the church celebrates 50 years of establishment.
