St. John the Divine Episcopal Church in Ruskin will be dedicating its second campus in Sun City Center with a special service and luncheon July 26 at 10 a.m.
The parish broke ground on the second campus, 5.5 miles east of the main church, on May 25. The $2.5 million facility will have a sanctuary and nave, one meeting room and no classrooms at the present time, although there are plans to expand at a later date.
According to information from the vestry posted on the church’s website, the church has raised nearly a million dollars for the project and have enough funds pledged to pay the monthly mortgage.
The parish does not plan to increase staff right away. Services at the new campus will be at 8 and 11 a.m. with a 9 a.m. service in Ruskin.
The parish also plans an open house for the Sun City Center community in September.
