Crossroads Community Church Construction Outreach Team

Hackleburg Community Church was completely destroyed in the tornado. When they rebuilt, they added a youth building. This includes a gym, bathrooms, a youth service room for older kids/teens and a room for younger child/K^st-5^th grade. The rooms are large and painted a neutral color. In the younger kid’s room the walls are painted sky blue on top and grass green on the bottom. The stage is at the far end with a finished 8 foot by 2.5 foot wide opening for puppet ministry. The new theme for this ministry will be Kidz Treehouse Ministry.  The Kidz ministry team came up with this theme and asked to make it happen. So a mature leafy green tree was designed around the opening and made to look like a treehouse. Small friendly animals were painted on the side walls close to the stage, while a floor to ceiling barn front was painted around the actual double glass exit door. The students will go through the “barn doors” to get to the outside future play area.  The wall opposite has a tranquil outdoor scene of children playing. The back wall has three images that represent the ‘old’ town.  There is an quaint white country church, the old water tower that survived the 1948 tornado and the 2011 tornado intact, and a cute one room school house.
