The congregation at Ashley Ridge Church in Summerville has been meeting at the local high school for over a decade, patiently waiting to build a permanent home for its ministry in the Summerville community. Now, that dream is being realized.
On April 21, church leaders and representatives broke ground on a new building at 9815 Delemar Highway.
Trident Construction, which is overseeing the building development, signed on to the project four years ago and has been patiently waiting to get things going.
“We picked Trident because they are deeply invested in the Summerville community,” said Pastor Jenn Williams. “They have also been a great asset in offering creative construction ideas to help us save money and build the best possible tool for our ministry.”
Ashley Ridge is the only church in the Summers Corner community. Leaders and members anticipate rapid growth as thousands of new homes are being built there, as well as a new community center, which promises several large pools and recreational facilities.
