Building Initiative
We’re a growing church in Wayland, trusting God as we take our next step toward a permanent home.
A Snapshot of our History
​​Since launching in September 2024, Peace Church Wayland has been a portable church - gathering at the Lumber Yard each Sunday through the faithfulness, flexibility, and sacrifice of an incredible team.
Week after week, people show up early, stay late, and serve with joy to make space for others to encounter Jesus. We’re deeply grateful for those who serve so faithfully, and for the many ways God has met us in every season and setting.
​
While we remain fully committed to the mission of Jesus wherever we gather, we believe a permanent space will allow us to continue growing without feeling cramped - and create more margin for connection, discipleship, and ministry. It will also help lighten the load our volunteers have been carrying so well.
​
In December 2025, we took a meaningful step forward by opening an additional space - 707 - our ministry and office space at 707 Superior. This space now serves as a hub for midweek ministry, including kids and student programming, Bible studies, groups, and classes.
Already, 707 has become a place where connection is happening, discipleship is growing, and people are taking next steps in their faith. We’re incredibly thankful for what God is doing through it.
Where We’re Going
As our church continues to grow, we are actively pursuing a permanent space where people can gather, encounter Jesus, and experience life together.
​
As of March 2026, we’ve identified a potential building on Reno Drive and have submitted an application to the city for a special land use permit. This begins the public process, with a planning commission meeting in the coming weeks.
​We’re encouraged by how God is opening doors, and we’re trusting Him for what’s next. We invite you to pray with us - for favor, for wisdom, and that this space would be used to make a lasting gospel impact in our community.
How You Can Pray & Give
At the end of 2025, our church family stepped out in faith and gave generously toward a building fund. By God’s grace, we’ve already raised $100,000.
We don’t see this as just a financial milestone, we see it as evidence of God at work. He is leading, providing, and gathering people who are passionate about seeing lives changed and the gospel proclaimed for generations to come.
