The Aurora United Church (AUC) says the rebuild carries on.

The AUC took to social media to share a set of photos of the latest on the reconstruction of the church, after a fire devastated the church building more than 10 years ago.

The photos, shared on Thursday, showing what the church says will be the chancel and and sanctuary areas.

The rooms can be seen filled with construction equipment, scaffolding and raw other building materials, but in the post, the church says these spaces “will once again be filled with music, worship, community and connection.”

In 2014, an accidental fire damaged the church building extensively. Later efforts to rebuild the church were stifled by various building complications, such as other nearby builds, COVID-19 and a general increase in the cost of construction.

There is no set timeline on when the church will reopen its doors.
