The Church of Eleven22 is one step closer to developing a campus in the master-planned Wildlight community in Nassau County.
Project engineer England-Thims & Miller Inc. of Jacksonville met with the county’s Development Review Committee Aug. 13 to review project plans and said it will file them with the county by the end of August.
ETM was originally scheduled to appear before the committee Aug. 6 at the Nassau County Planning Department at 96161 Nassau Place, but it was taken off the agenda due to Tropical Storm Debby.
In an April 26 news release, Eleven22 announced the church plans to start construction this summer and complete it in 2026. A mobile campus is expected to launch later this year to serve as a temporary worship center for the community.
The 10.52-acre site is south of Florida 200 across from Crosstown Boulevard, east of Interstate 95. The church paid $1.7 million for the land in December 2023 from Wildlight LLC, which is controlled by Raydient Places + Properties, a taxable subsidiary of real estate investment trust Rayonier Inc.
The Church of Eleven22 campus will include a 40,000-square-foot sanctuary and worship center that can accommodate more than 1,000 people. Site plans show 607 parking spaces.
The development committee asked ETM to consider reducing the parking and use the space for bicycles.
Gainesville-based Scherer Construction is leading the design-build project. Jacksonville-based Basham & Lucas Design Group is the architect.
It will be the church’s 14th campus. The congregation primarily operates in Northeast Florida and in Jesup, Georgia, about 100 miles north of Jacksonville. It will be the first in the county.
