Project Narrative for:     Community Center & Worship Facility 
Project Address:  12625 W. Thunderbird Rd. El Mirage, AZ 
INTRODUCTION 
Destiny Ministries has acquired eight acres of undeveloped land at Thunderbird and 127 Avenue in El 
Mirage.  This is a highly visible lot that is centrally located in the city.  The site is easily accessible 
through walking or driving and surrounded by neighborhoods.  The lot is raw dirt that has remained 
undeveloped and unused for decades, providing no community benefit.  This project and investment 
will change this unused, previously undeveloped dirt lot into a thriving hub for business and 
community services.  It will provide programs, services and opportunities to the low-income 
community. 
THE WORSHIP CENTER & COMMUNITY CENTER 
The community center side of the project will provide programs and services for free to the low-
income community.  Examples of these programs and services include healthcare; food; clothing; 
ESL, GED, and citizenship classes; after-school programming; counseling; job training; haircuts; sports 
physicals for children; legal counseling, veteran’s services; literacy education; and more.   Destiny 
Ministries is not seeking any support or assistance for the community center, at this time.  The worship 
center will be available for various religious congregations to hold services.    
HOURS OF OPERATION & PARKING 
Below is a breakdown on operation hours based on days of the week: 
a. Worship Center:  The worship center will be operational weekly with its highest use on 
Sundays between the hours of 8 AM – 1 PM for worship ceremonies.  We anticipate +/- 70 
cars on average for a Sunday, 50 for visitors and 20 for staff.   The rest of the week will be 
minimal usage with +/- 20 cars Monday through Saturday for staff and visitors.   
b. Community Center:  The community center will be operational Monday through 
Sunday with its heaviest use being weekdays for regularly scheduled activities between the 
hours of 8 AM and 3 PM.  Parking requirements during these hours are anticipated at 15 
cars.
