CITYLINK Campus Development
PHASE 1
Food Pantry Storage,
Distribution, Multipurpose
Room & Offices
The Phase 1 development is a 2-story structure consisting of over 8,000 square feet of food pantry and ministry storage, almost 3,000 square feet of ministry support classrooms, 3,625 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 ministry activities and our Pathway to Housing program team.
PHASE 2
Multipurpose Room &
Licensed Childcare Services
The Phase 2 development (over 16,000 square foot single-story structure) of a ministry center and pre-school will provide for weekend services, mid-week services, and daily licensed childcare services, giving the community a gathering space throughout the week and on weekends while supporting working families who need
access to affordable childcare.
The Phase 2 will include a roughly 5,000 square foot Multipurpose Room that will accommodate up to 400 seats. A Café may also included. At completion of Phase 2, Water of Life plans to host two weekend services on Sunday mornings, in English and Spanish. In addition, children’s Sunday school classes will be offered.
PHASE 3
Residential / Mixed Use
The Phase 3 development, to be completed in 2027-2028, is envisioned as a three-story structure. The site can adequately accommodate up to 36 apartments or a combination of mixed use residential and retail spaces. These retail uses would provide beneficial services for both the residential units and surrounding community. These may also house social service providers, and hands on job training opportunities.

Current Construction Status
Phase 1 development is underway. Key development activity milestones include:
Funding Status
The total project cost estimate for Phase 1 is $12.5 – $13 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 to match the $6 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 Summer 2024.
Prayer Points
- Pray that God will bless this land.
- Pray CityLink will continue to touch the community in His name.
- Pray God’s hand will be on the ministries housed at CityLink and for His strategies.
- Pray God will provide the needed finances so we can pay as we go to avoid long term debt.
