Benton Mennonite Church Completes Facility Upgrades

(August 9, 2011) Benton Mennonite Church has taken steps to upgrade and more fully utilize its building.  The scope of work included an ADA lift serving all three levels, an ADA-compliant restroom, an expanded foyer, an upgraded HVAC system for the worship area, a reconfiguration of the worship area and platform, and additional steps to prepare for a future addition.  DJ's Special Projects Group completed the project.

Pastor Doug Kaufman is pleased with the project and the construction process.  He states, "DJ Construction was flexible in our search for a project that fit our congregation and in allowing our members to complete parts of the project that we could do.  They connected us with resources that helped us immensely in raising funds for the project.  We are pleased with all the work that was accomplished and that it will be paid off in its entirety at the end of our three-year fundraising campaign."

Founded in 1944, Benton Mennonite Church is a community of faith located at 15350 CR 44.  Its Purpose Statement proclaims, "God calls us into a community of faith, forms us into disciples, sends us into the world."  Sunday morning worship is at 9:30 a.m. followed by Sunday School at 10:00 a.m. and Fellowship meal at noon.
