Hi Bob,

The room it's in now is about 20 to 25 feet deep and about 30 feet or
a little more wide with carpeting
but not much padding and an 8 foot or a little more ceiling. The
ceiling is flat, popcorned drywall type, the back is half windows
lower part wall except for the double door entry also an open area
into the kitchen on one side about 8 feet wide. Along the left wall
are more windows along the right wall, more drywall.
The building is frame almost like a newer average cost ranch style
tract home except it's a little bigger and obviously a church because
of the window configuration and the commercial type double front
doors.

The have plenty of room to expand as they grow, it is one of those
nondenominational churches that frequently depend on the personality
and charisma of the minister. We have several of those type of
churches in the area.

Mike
