Our Team Project Page

There are a number of projects that we need help with. Each of these projects is designed to be carried out by a team, and your team may fit one or more of them. Once you've done an inventory of the kinds of people you'll have on your team, contact us. We'd be happy to help you figure out how to maximize your missions experience.

Note that for each project, we show what is needed financially to complete it. We share this because visiting teams are often able to help in this way. Budget figures are "educated guesses" (but we're getting pretty good at those!). Either way, just let us know.

Platform Upgrades

We need to raise the height of our existing platform by one "riser" height, or 7.5 inches; then add a single STEP in four spots around the platform. Existing platform is 12' x 20'. This job will be simple for a team that has a skilled builder or two on board.
Budget: $800

Cabinets for Sound Booth

We need to purchase and install some locking cabinets (about 10 linear feet, or roughly 3-4 assorted cabinets such as those commonly available at Home Depot) on the north wall of the sound booth area.
​Budget: $600

Sound Booth Expansion & Translation Booth

Purchase and install locking cabinets in our sound booth area. Build a translation booth. (Our services are in English, but are translated live into Spanish.)

Budget: $1200

Pave the Main Church Entrance

Our front entrance is currently a collection of broken asphalt and dirt. Walking into church from the road can be a challenge for those who are elderly or disabled. We want to tear out the existing asphalt parking area (20'x 30') and pour a single sloping concrete pad.

Budget: $2,500

Exhaust Fans

Our building has no insulation, so during the hotter months, the sun turns our sheet metal walls into a convection oven. So we want to purchase and install exhaust fans in east wall of worship center. We're thinking something like 3 of these... just as an idea.

Kitchen Cabinets

Purchase and install cabinets (about 8 linear feet, or roughly 2-3 cabinets such as those found at Home Depot). This should be easy because mounting brackets are already in place.

Miscellaneous Construction

  • Paint west storage room & install fluorescent overhead lights
  • Add decorative wood accents (using palette wood on hand) to front of sound booth and breezeway
  • Run hot water to both ladies' restrooms (we now have hot water in the building)
  • Move worship center light switches from the post where they now reside... to the sound booth; add dimmer capability

Non-Construction Ministry

We need teams that will help us with annual outreach activities including VBS (English and Spanish), our huge Night of Christmas in Vista Marina, Christmas stocking and grocery distribution (also in Vista Marina), serving some of our Rosarito area churches with light cleaning, some construction, flyer distribution etc.

Budget: Varies

Recently Completed

Men's Bathroom Expansion & Team Showers... we are grateful to the 2015 Christian Heights Assembly of God team (Sonora, California) for starting this so well, and to dear friends from our home church in Torrance, California for helping us finish it. It took eight months to get it done, but this is going to be a game-changer for us!

Worship Center Refurbish... Team CHAOG (Christian Heights Assembly of God, Sonora CA) and Team Nails (Nails In His Hands, a group from our home church... Hope Chapel Huntington Beach) helped us to a major revamp of our worship center. The gang from Sonora built us a huge wall, out of palette wood, stained it, installed it, AND also created a new bathroom for our ladies. The Surf City crew helped us by installing a lighting treatment (using giant sails) to our ceiling, plus they built a wall in a children's classroom and painted... like everywhere. We'd be nowhere without our friends!

Future Stuff

Some other ideas taking up space in our brain:

Coffee Bar: A place where regulars and visitors alike can grab that "venti-vanilla-latte-extra-shot-no-foam-nonfat" (or just a decent cup of coffee) before or after church. Think Starbucks (nearly all of the Godwin girls either work, or have worked there)... but in church. This would involve building a counter space and kitchen prep area, purchase and install POS, espresso machines, grinders, coffee makers, blender, etc., then decorate it all. (Budget: We have NO idea)

Worship Center AV Upgrade: Purchase and install 2 TV monitors (for lyrics & presentation); add accent lighting for platform (budget: $3000)
