Sullivan said assessments have been going on since the storm and revealed more damage than originally thought.Winds tore off the fellowship hall’s roof, which caused significant damage to the children's worship area, classrooms and office space. Damage and continued assessments have prevented members from using much of the building, including the sanctuary.“When the roof was torn off, it left this black soot-like substance on everything,” Sullivan said.“They have to evaluate what the material is. Is it asbestos? Is it lead dust?... is it mold? They will be doing those tests this week and next week, and once they get the result, they’ll tell us the cleanup plan,” Sullivan said.
On Sept. 29, contractors plan to meet with church members to go over reports, explain cost estimates and answer questions. “Because we did not have access to our kitchen our refrigerators and freezers. We are postponing those into the month of October,” Sullivan said. “And that was heartbreaking for us because we want to serve our community.”
“My kids have been here. My kids been married here. My homegoing service for my brother my mother was here,” Phillips said. “So, this is my church.”
