Project description: The congregation of the Monett Community Church is rebuilding after a fire broke out in its Fourth Street building in late 2009, according to Youth Pastor Ryan Mahue. The two-story structure will feature a sanctuary, offices and classrooms on the first floor and a youth department in the basement, Mahue said. The second floor will remain unfinished until the church decides how to best use the space, he said. A combination of insurance funds, bank financing and member donations is funding the construction, according to Mahue.[[In-content Ad]]
