Mill Woods Campus Renovations

On April 13, 2026, renovations were started at the Mill Woods Campus of Beulah Alliance Church. The following pictures track the progress of the renovations.

On April 8, 2026 the Hutterite colony in Drumheller

loaded up the pews into two semi-trailers and took them home. They were very thankful to receive the pews and assured us that these pews would be very well used.

Looking from the main doors into the new lobby and looking back towards the main doors from the lobby.
Looking from under the balcony (not yet removed) into the auditorium.
Looking from the new front of stage to the back of the auditorium.
The balcony now pretty much dismantled.

In the week of April 20, 2026, the project was ready to remove the asbestos from the building. This task requires sealing off the area being remediated and the workers are completely fitted out in PPE.

From April 27, 2026 through May 11, 2026 the balcony was dismantled - both the wood framing & floor and the steel beams.

These two images provide an understanding of the back of the platform before it was dismantled.
This shows the room after the balcony has been completely removed. The platform framing has now been started in the lower left of this image.

On May 11, 2026 the framing crew started framing, including the stage, back of stage and back of the auditorium. As there was some concern about noise transference from the staircase into the auditorium, special two wall framing around the staircase was constructed.
