The Journey to LifeSpring:
In November of 2010 the Arlington family voted with an overwhelming majority to relocate Arlington to 24 acres located North of Loop 640 off Washington Pike in North Knoxville. The land transferred to ownership of the Arlington family on Wednesday February 2, 2011. The implementation of the relocation is now underway. Approved in the Master Plan with the Metropolitan Planning Commission was the name of the new road to be constructed from Washington Pike to the new property - LifeSpring Lane.
Our second step in this journey took place on May 31, 2011 as Arlington Baptist sold the existing building and Missionary House on Fairmont Blvd to New Life Deliverance Ministries and entered into a lease agreement with them to maintain our ministries in the building while the new property is being developed.
What will we build:
- New Church Facility with ease of access and all Sunday/Wed activities on one level
- State of the art Childrens and Youth ministry areas
- Secure Nursery and Preschool ministry areas
- Recreation area
What new ministries will be possible:
- Senior Living Facility - approved in the Master Plan is a facility designed to provide care for Senior Adults
- Counseling Ministry - we are actively pursuing a group to offer Counseling on site
- Mom's Day Out/Week Day ministry
- and many more!
God has worked in marvelous ways to bring us to this point. The future is limitless. Updates will be posted here as we proceed on this incredible journey!
Updates:
- On June 26TH the Building Committee will share the proposed floor plan, Updated Master Site Plan, and Elevations of the new Arlington. A vote has been scheduled for approval of the plans for Sunday July 10, 2011.
- On Sunday July 10TH the Arlington family voted with NO objections to accept the recommendations from the Building Team - Look of Building, Master Plan Revisions, and a general floor plan.
