What is the White Church Gallery?

Mike and Carrie Zaitz are renovating an old Methodist Church in Grindstone City, Michigan. Mike claims he just wanted a place to work on his art. He sold Carrie on it, since she's usually up for adventures. From that happy December of 2011 till now, the investment in time and money has seen the church rebuilt from its glorious bones into a work of art, in progress. Carrie is documenting the process because, well, it's easier to hold a camera than to hold an edging sander. She's done both, because she is having an adventure, but it is Mike who drives this project with his intelligence, talent and energy. Together they are working toward creating an art gallery. A gallery which holds objects of beauty and inspiration, but which always points back to the source, our heavenly Father.

Arches!

I wonder what's going on at the Church?

Church at Dusk

Outside, it looks warm and cozy, lit and lively. 

Inside, there's much work being done.

The arches have been cut. Rumor has it that it was difficult and messy work.









It's hard doing all the work AND the photography!


So as the smoke clears (really plaster dust and lathe mist) we have a pair of arches. 




What a difference!
WOW!

This church is amazing, and we are so blessed to be a part of its journey!
