RICHMOND HILL, Ga. — (WJCL) – A big project in Richmond Hill broke ground today. The United Methodist Church broke ground for a new building at noon.

The $3.5 M project will include a 14,000 square-foot Ministry Center. It will provide facilities for the growing needs of the congregation and the community.

The project includes a fellowship hall to seat 400 people and a commercial kitchen. It also includes a worship space for the church’s contemporary worship service, a youth center that will accommodate 120 youth, and office space.
