After months of steady work, faithful generosity, and a whole lot of determination, Phase III is finally nearing completion at Franklin UMC. The transformation in the lower-level of our building has been remarkable, the new addition is beautiful, and we are so close to welcoming our community into refreshed, safe, and beautiful new spaces.
As we enter this final stretch, we’re inviting volunteers to step forward and help us complete the last set of hands‑on projects. Your time, your skills, or even your willingness to learn can make a meaningful difference. And if you “know a person” with the right expertise, we’d love to connect with them too!
Why Volunteers Matter Right Now
To keep costs down and maintain our momentum, we’re gathering a small team of helpers to finish painting, install new floors and lights, and refresh our landscaping. These final touches will bring the whole project together—and every hour offered helps us steward our resources wisely.
Volunteer Opportunities
If you’re able to help with any of the following tasks, we’d be grateful:
- Painting: Walls and ceilings throughout the lower level, new addition, and main‑level multi‑use rooms.
- Epoxy Floor Work: Cleaning the concrete floor in the lower level and applying the epoxy coating.
- Hardwood Flooring: Installing new hardwood in the church office and feathering in new flooring over patched areas in the main‑level rooms and hallway.
- Tile/Stone Installation: Setting new tile/stone in the ground‑level and lower‑level entryways.
- Lighting: Installing new lights in the main‑level classrooms (licensed electrician needed).
- Trim, Bush Removal, and Landscaping: Trimming and removing a few overgrown bushes, clearing rocks from the yard, planting and watering new grass, and designing/planting refreshed landscaping around the church grounds.
Every Hour Makes a Difference
Every brushstroke, every tile set, every plant in the ground brings us one step closer to opening these renewed spaces to the community. This is shared work—work that reflects our commitment to hospitality, care, and hope.
Want to Help?
If you’re able to volunteer—or if you know someone who might be—please reach out to the Church Office. We’ll coordinate times, materials, and teams so everything moves smoothly. If you have another way you’d like to help, please contact Pastor Jacob.
Thank you for your continued generosity, your resilience, and your belief in what God is building here. Phase III is almost complete—and your hands can help carry us across the finish line.
