EMMANUEL PARK MODULAR WORSHIP BUILDING :
We are actively collaborating with engineers, contractors, vendors, and county staff to bring Emmanuel Park Church’s interim modular worship building to life. While our timeline has been adjusted, our priority remains ensuring that the structure is thoughtfully designed and fully approved for worship gatherings. Because no suitable pre-owned or leasable units exist, a brand new, custom-built unit is being crafted to serve our community’s needs for the coming years as we work to design, fund, and construct a permanent worship hall.
This custom modular will be a 36 x 60 structure with 9’ ceilings. It will be much nicer and larger than initial ideas. We do not have an estimate of time at the moment as we navigate Collier County’s complex construction standards and approval for location site. We need to have the design work completed, then engineering work completed by the manufacturer, with engineering to be reviewed and approved by county. On county approval of structural plan, unit goes into manufacturing..... then site prep, electrical lines, delivery, installation and certificate of occupancy.
We appreciate your continued patience and support as we strive to create a welcoming, high-quality worship space for all.
