THE STORY

Church Venture has been searching for land in Hamilton Township since 2018. In March 2024 we will be a 10-year-old community of faith. Our Sunday morning home has been located in a strip mall located on Western Row Road since 2014.

In our land search we were never able to find affordable land for sale. Anything on the market was listed for millions! After years of searching, we made a last-ditch effort and posted on the Hamilton Township Facebook page a simple request:“We are a church looking for 5 to 10 acres of land to call our home”. We received three responses by folks selling land. One homeowner was located on the outskirts of Hamilton Twp in a very non-residential area. The second homeowner had land that was almost ready to be listed and honestly was a bit above what we could afford. The third homeowner was ready to sell and willing to work with us! Between August 2022 and January 2023, we worked through the process of raising funds within our own congregation, borrow funds from an out of state religious organization, as well as crossing T’s and dotting I’s to land at our closing date, January 26, 2023.

We are very excited about these 11.494 acres! Our future on this land is extremely bright!!!

THE VISION

We want to become a Community Center Church located at 200 Stephens Road. We are a community of faith designed to serve our community, and the future building will be designed primarily to serve Hamilton Township!

Hamilton Township does not have space that is open to the public that is not a school, retail center or restaurant. Our vision is that the entire 11 acre location will be a 7 day a week Community Center!

We want our building and property to be used by the community just like a community center!

Open Door Groups

  • Foster Parent Classes

  • Medical Screening

  • Self Defense Classes

These are just some of the hopes and dreams we have been having as we take our very first steps towards developing 200 Stephens Road. Of course, the space could be rented very affordably for private parties, HOA meetings, Board of Realtors gatherings etc.

THE LATEST SCOOP

Church Venture took occupation of the 200 Stephens Road property in March 2023. We have been working on the property doing things like taking down the horse fences, trimming and cutting down trees, and caring for the lawn and pastures so they do not become overgrown. It would take quite a bit of time and money to update the existing house for residential use. We also been working with the Hamilton Township Fire Department. We have allowed the HTFD to use the house for training and on Friday, November 3rd the house is scheduled to be control burned as a training opportunity for the HTFD!Once the house is burned, we will have the remains removed from the property. At that time, we will have the horse barn removed from the property also.
