A Fort Wayne ministry has broken ground on a new building that will house a daycare, community clinic and ministry offices. Bridge of Grace says this facility on the southeast side of Fort Wayne will bring new programs and opportunities to the Mt. Vernon Neighborhood.
The project includes a 20,000-square-foot Early Learning Center that will serve around 200 children each day. The daycare will have various classrooms, a dedicated sensory area, and indoor and outdoor play spaces.
The facility will also have a 3,000-square-foot clinic to provide accessible healthcare to area residents, in partnership with Fort Wayne-based Parkview Health.
The campus will include a 5,000-square-foot space that will serve as headquarters for the Compassionate Ministries Center.
“I haven’t seen a project that will make a bigger impact from the day it opens its doors than this one,” said Project Manager Chris Stine. “I can hardly wait to see what happens in this space.”
Design Collaborative and Weigand Construction have partnered with Bridge of Grace on the project.
Plans are for completion of the project in the summer of 2024.
