**CAMPUS EXPANSION UPDATE**

# Approved

*God has been kind to us.*

**PLANNING COMMISSION · 6–0**

God is so kind. On Wednesday night, Torrance’s Planning Commission voted 6–0 to approve the Conditional Use Permit for our new building at 529/531 Van Ness. Thank you for praying.

During the meeting, Pastor Gavin shared our story with the commission: a church that opened in a humble middle school cafeteria in 2003, and by God’s grace is now full across three services every Sunday. We’re grateful to God for this step, and we want to keep treasuring Christ more than any building.

*Praying together after the vote.*

*“We’re so thankful to God that we get to call Torrance home.”*

**PASTOR GAVIN, TO THE COMMISSION**

Next up: on Sunday, October 25, we'll share a church-wide update on where the whole project stands.

And on Monday, November 9, everyone is invited to the Campus Expansion Update and Prayer Meeting, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the sanctuary.
