Building for the Future

“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.”

-Psalm 127:1

The Vision

Architectural rendering of new Valley Church of Christ building

There are souls in Gunter and the surrounding communities that need the gospel. This building is an opportunity to bring them to Christ. That’s what this is about — a place to teach the lost, study God’s word with anyone willing, and put the gospel in front of people who haven’t heard it.

The new 7,300 square-foot building at 121 E College Street in Gunter, Texas means more room for Bible studies, a place to invite the community, and an open door for anyone searching for the truth. It includes a new parking lot so there’s never a reason not to come. This is privately funded — made possible by the sacrifice of members who believe in the work of saving souls.

Every nail, every beam, every dollar — all for the purpose of saving souls.

Steel Framing

The steel frame went up. For the first time, we could see the shape of the place where, Lord willing, many will obey the gospel.

Interior Progress

Walls are up and the worship space is taking shape. Lord willing, people will be baptized into Christ because of what happens in this room.

We’re on track to open our doors this spring. The building will be ready — and so will we, to teach the gospel to anyone who walks in.
