A New Meeting Hall for the Church in Chula Vista, California
Brief History
The church in Chula Vista began in 1990 with four families who migrated from the church in San Diego and began meeting in the homes of the saints. From 1992 until the present time the church has been meeting in rented facilities. Over the years the church has increased in number, mostly due to the saints visiting and shepherding new ones contacted through the Life Study of the Bible radio broadcast in the Spanish language. Currently there are approximately 95 adults with 35 children and young people who gather for the Lord’s Table meeting on the Lord’s Day. The church in Chula Vista is predominantly Spanish-speaking.
The City of Chula Vista
Strategically located between the city of San Diego and the U.S. / Mexican border; Chula Vista is the second largest city in San Diego County, with a population of over 250,000. Chula Vista also has a major community college with 19,000 students.
The Property
The saints had been praying, asking the Lord for a small, humble meeting facility; just large enough to meet the needs of the saints in Chula Vista. The Lord, however, has provided a much greater facility which will also be very useful as a conference center for all of San Diego County and a blending center for the Spanish speaking saints in Southern California and the churches in Baja California, Mexico. (This property is eight miles from the U.S. / Mexican border)
This is an excellent property situated on over two acres with approximately 10,000 square feet of building space. There are three buildings; the largest having two large meeting rooms on two levels, each with a seating capacity of over 300. The second is a two story building with 12 small rooms which has in the past been used as a church school facility. The third building is a large office and storage facility. In addition, the property has over 1 ½ acres for off-street parking.
Escrow
In fellowship with the leading brothers in the churches in San Diego County, escrow has been opened for this property and will close on January 7, 2015.
Purchase Price
The purchase price for the property is $ 1,000,000
The church has been able to finance $425,000 of the total purchase price and the churches in San Diego County have offered $275,000, leaving a shortage of $300,000.
It seems good to us now to invite all the churches to participate in the furtherance of the gospel to meet the need of this final $300,000 shortage.
