Here's the kitchen, where they force you to eat warm, chocolate chip cookies when you arrive after school. Can you handle that?

And there's the Coffee Bar..a place to pull your head together on those crazy days. I call that "my table" next to the window, not because it is, but because that's where I fell in love with this place.

The first time I came here was for a concert with this band from Seattle. They played over here in this enormous auditorium. Can you believe this used to be a cow shed? And the coffee bar used to be the milking parlor! WOW! During the concert, kids were everywhere, worshipping, and loving it.

Actually, this whole place used to be a working barn -- "The Loft" upstairs where the basketball hoops and the rope swing are, the game room on the end over there, the study center, even the bathrooms. I'm sure the cows would have been happier if this sound system had been installed when they were here. Maybe they would have produced more milk with Jars of Clay ringing in their ears.

Hey, look at Mt. Baker out the window. That's what I love about this place. Everything seems to catch my attention in a new way when I'm here. And God's part of it all!
