Per the release, the first phase of construction will include a temporary worship space that can accommodate up to 325 people as well as a nursery and children's education areas. Officials noted comprehensive site improvements will create a safe, accessible and inviting environment for church members and visitors alike.
Emmanuel Baptist Church currently holds services on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at 21650 Loop 494, New Caney. The new facility—which church officials said will serve as a hub for worship, outreach and community engagement—will be located directly east of Keefer Crossing Middle School.
"We give God thanks and praise for bringing us so far," Senior Pastor Joshua Crutchfield said in a statement. "We are excited and eager to lay down roots in our community in order to bless and serve the people around us."
Per the release, construction on the new facility is expected to wrap up in the third quarter of 2026 in partnership with Paradigm Construction and Ziegler Cooper Architects.
