MARBLE FALLS — The Marble Falls Church of Christ broke ground in November on what will be a 30,000-square-foot facility. The building will house a fellowship hall, classrooms, offices, library, youth center and a 700-seat auditorium.

“One of the unique features of the new building is it is going to have chairs for the seating in the auditorium so things can be re-configured for a variety of uses,” Administrative Assistant Anne George said.

The existing church facility started as a single building in 1945. It was expanded with a new auditorium in 1960, and a two-story education wing was added in 1971.

“The new structure will be built on this site, and the old building will be torn down,” said Ken Waugh, the youth minister for the church. “It won’t happen until the construction is complete, and we estimate it will take 14 months to finish.”

The church is at 711 Broadway. The number is (830) 693-5575.
