HCC Acquires Rhodes Facility

It's official. Heartland purchased the former Rhodes Furniture building on Friday, February 29th. The building was purchased for $6.45 M dollars and is currently valued at more than $11 M. The purchase was made possible by the generous givers at Heartland who participated financially in the go. campaign.

Steve Fisher and the staff are currently working with the design team of 360 Architecture. They are about halfway through with the preliminary design. The new facility will feature a 1,600 seat sloped auditorium, offices, classrooms, bookstore, and several open air courtyards. The construction should begin this summer and be completed in time for our first services there in the fall of 2009. The building is located at 12175 S. Strang Line Road in Olathe. Click here for a map.

In anticipation of the move, Tom Brawner is leading a team of pioneers to prepare the way. A third service called the "South Service" will begin meeting this coming fall in a facility near Rhodes. In preparation, the pioneer leaders are studying What You Do Best in the Body of Christ. Click here if you would like more information on the South Service.
