2000

On January 28, 2000, ground was broken on the building project. By that Easter, on April 23, 2000, part of the sanctuary was built and a sunrise service was held in the midst of the partially constructed building. A record attendance of 260 was set on that day.

With the new attendance numbers becoming consistent, the church moved from Faro Del Caribe to the top floor ballroom of the Gran Hotel de Costa Rica. The church met there every Sunday for fifteen weeks in 2001.

As Easter of 2001 approached, there was a sense among the church that it was time to start meeting at the new home in Guachipelín even though the construction was still not yet complete. On April 15, 2001, the church again met in the still unfinished building to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. One member recalled that without doors, two small dogs joined the service and seemed right at home.

On March 17, 2002, after five years in the planning and building stages, the new church building was dedicated. Even more remarkable than its beauty or the one million dollar price tag was the fact that not a single penny was borrowed for the project. All proceeds were donated by both its members and by many others outside the church who cheered the project on and wanted to be a part of its history.
