Building Renovation Journey
Join us on the journey of raising funds to complete the building renovation for our church and school in Brooklyn, NY. God provided the funds for our building purchase in 2003. Phase 1 was the build out of 4 classrooms on the top floor for Followers of Jesus School in 2018. We anticipate four more phases to come and $800,000 - $1,000,000 needed. From September 2025 to April 2026, God has already graciously provided over $225,000 towards Phase 2 for this summer's project. We are seeking to have $275,000 for adequate funding. Due to a current match available of $25,000, we need about $27,000 more. We trust that God will provide the funds to bring this work to a completion. Please pray with us towards that end. If you would like to learn more about how to partner with us, please contact James Gochnauer at [email protected]. You can donate by sending a check to FJMC, 3065 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11208 with a designation for the Building Fund or electronically through Zelle ([email protected]). |
Phase 2As of April 2026 we have raised about $225,000 to move forward in completing the top floor renovations the summer of 2026. We are hoping for at least $50,000 more to complete this project. This includes a classroom, new bathrooms and more.

Phase 3This phase will require another $400,000 and include relocation of the bathrooms with accessibility added. A second entrance to the church from the side street will be added. A basement stairwell will be redone.

Phases 4-5This phase will include the creation of a new elevator shaft to accommodate a commercial elevator and complete all other requirements such as a new fire escape, fire-resistant windows, and more. Estimate: $300,000
