We are building a facility that will meet our ministry needs and will historically fit architecturally with the low country. It will look something like this. Visit www.limehousevillage.com to view the neighborhood and historical community flavor where people go about life in community. 
Remember, this is a God-sized project and it is doomed to fail unless God is in it -- this is one way of how God will stretch us and grow our faith!
