Project description: The new auditorium is the long-awaited third-phase expansion of the Union Hill Church of Christ. "We are a pretty common congregation and the auditorium will have moveable chairs so that it will be a multifunction facility that can be used for Union Hill and community events," said Preacher Steve Martin. "The auditorium will seat just under 700 people and will be one of the larger meeting areas in our community."
