Pastor Dan on CityLink Building Project

A NEW PLACE TO GROW & SERVE

CITYLINK

Since 2009, CityLink has provided support services to low-income, under-employed residents within the community. In addition to receiving boxes of food from the warehouse, there are a number of support services housed within CityLink to assist guests in securing job training, education, parenting skills, language skills, rental assistance, homeless prevention and other services to our community.

CityLink has enjoyed tremendous support from the City of Fontana since its inception. The Mayor and City leaders came alongside Pastor Dan and Water of Life to support our vision of connecting the church to the community in order to serve the poor and those in need.

Located in downtown Fontana, CityLink originally began by leasing buildings from the Water Department. An old property that we renovated and rebuilt. As our ministry area services expanded to accommodate the needs of our community, we outgrew the property coinciding with the City’s desire to redevelop the downtown community. It is now time for CityLink to relocate.

PHASE ONE STATUS

Food Pantry Storage, Distribution, Multi-Purpose Room & Offices

The Phase 1 development is a 2-story structure consisting of approximately 3,215 square feet of food pantry storage, almost 3,000 square feet of ministry support classrooms, 3,171 square feet of Multipurpose Room (MPR) area, concourse, public restrooms, a small heating kitchen, and a secure reception area with counseling rooms, restroom and shower facilities for homeless services, all on the first floor.

The second floor consists primarily of office space to support the CityLink and grant programming staff.

At completion of Phase 1, Water of Life plans to host two weekend services on Sunday mornings, English and Spanish, in the MPR with a capacity to accommodate 220 adult attendees per service. In addition to children’s Sunday school, classes (called WOL Kids) will be offered for children Nursery – 5th Grade.

FUNDING STATUS

The project is approaching groundbreaking in December 2022 and the total construction cost estimate for Phase 1 is $10-$11 million. Our goal is to pay for this project as we build and not enter into long term debt. We are believing God to raise $6 million throughout this year to match the $5 million already raised and pledged through Water of Life contributions and allocations towards the project. If we can do that, we will be able to pay off Phase 1 construction as we open the doors to the community in early 2024.
