Oil Well Road Updates
OUR LATEST UPDATE: EXCITING NEWS!
The County’s Growth Management Department has approved our Site Development Plan Insubstantial Change (SDPI) application!
Our Civil Engineers will file our Temporary Use Permit application for the modular structure in the next few days.
Our General Contractor will submit the SDPI to the County’s building permit department to complete the Building Permit application at the start of this coming week.
As soon as the Building Permit application is approved, the GC will begin to schedule and mobilize his subcontractors. They will also schedule the delivery of the modular unit to the site.
From the date of delivery, our GC plans to complete the building and obtain the Certificate of Occupancy within six weeks. All site work, including landscaping, must be complete for the Certificate of Occupancy to be issued by the County.
We are significantly closer than we were just a week back! Thanks for your patience!

BACK-TO-SCHOOL SUPPLIES: HELP US SUPPORT LOCAL STUDENTS!
Although it may feel like summer just began, the first day of school is right around the corner in early August—and we want to ensure every child has the tools they need to succeed.
Last week marked the kickoff of our School Supply Drive, and we’re thrilled to share that over 50 apples were taken from our Tree of School Supplies! Each apple represents a commitment to help a student in need. Thank you to all who have already joined in!
If you didn’t have a chance to pick an apple last week, it’s not too late—you can still grab one this Sunday at church.
Not in town? No problem! You can still participate by:
Clicking on our Amazon Wish List and having items shipped directly to us
Making a monetary donation through our website—just select "School Supplies," and we’ll take care of the rest
Thank you for helping us bless students in our congregation and community with the supplies they need for a strong start to the school year!
This year, we are collecting supplies for:
Children and families at Emmanuel (both Mooring Line and Oil Well Road campuses)
Calusa Park Elementary School, one of our local Collier County schools
We believe every child deserves to begin the school year with confidence and the supplies they need to focus on learning—not worry.
Thank you for being a blessing to the students in our congregation and community. Together, we can help every child start the year strong!
