Tabernacle Youth Center
Two weeks ago, I posted questions about retreat centers. Over the last year, I have been learning as much as possible about retreat centers because at my ministry, we are in the process of building one. The Ocean City Tabernacle is building the Tabernacle Youth Center. When completed (tentatively July 2008), this 2 story building will include a 3/4 size gym, game room, meeting rooms, and dorm rooms. We will be able to accommodate overnight retreats for youth groups of up to 60 students (maybe more). Just think about it: holding a retreat a new retreat center with full amenities and only 3 blocks from the beach!
I have been working on this project almost nonstop since it was announced to the public last May, and it has been so exciting! It has been great to plan how the building will be used, and being involved in every decision, from colors of carpet and floors to developing a Purpose Statement and guidelines for the building. As I am the Youth Director at the Tabernacle, the booking and use of this building will become my primary responsibility. This Youth Center is every youth worker’s dream, and I am cherishing every moment of it!
We have set up a picture timeline of the project online: Youth Center Construction.
Here is a photo from last month (the outside has been stuccoed since):
