Construction for It Is Written TV program sets still continues in the studio.

Your support helps to ensure the completion of this important project.
It Is Written hosted a grand opening of its new ministry headquarters in Collegedale, Tennessee, on Friday, November 22, 2019, from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. The event was live streamed on It Is Written's Facebook page and featured a dedication, a ribbon cutting with the local Chamber of Commerce, ministry tours, giveaways, and refreshments. John Bradshaw, president of It Is Written; Katie Lamb, Collegedale Mayor; Dr. David Smith, president of Southern Adventist University; Dan Jackson, president of the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists, and others spoke during the dedication.
The It Is Written of tomorrow is here. After 63 years, It Is Written finally has its own home. Previously headquartered in California, the ministry moved to Tennessee in 2014 and began leasing separate office and warehouse spaces in Chattanooga. In September 2019, employees moved into the new building located in Collegedale, Tennessee. The building allows for office, studio and warehouse space to all be under one roof. The space greatly expands and improves the efficiency of studio capabilities and provides room for future growth.
Take a virtual tour of It Is Written's ministry headquarters with Pastor Bradshaw.

It Is Written to Host Grand Opening of New Headquarters
Ribbon cutting and open house will take place Nov. 22, 2019.
We have moved in! The It Is Written of tomorrow is here. Our first staff worship was held last week in the new building. We are so excited about what the Lord is going to do from this new location. Please plan to visit us for our open house, November 22 between noon-3pm.
Exciting things are happening at the new It Is Written headquarters! Furniture is being installed and the parking lot paving has begun. We are finishing the punch list and waiting on our certificate of occupancy.

This week, we are passing inspections for our temporary occupancy permit. Landscaping and sod are being planted, the address has been placed on the outside of the new building, stairways have been treaded, memorial and honorary bricks have been laid at the front entrance, the porch pergola has been built, paint and drop ceiling has been finished in the worship room, and cabinets have been installed in the break room and copy room.
Our open house date has been set for November 22, 2019. Right now, carpet and laminate flooring is being laid. Volunteers who professionally hang industrial doors recently finished hanging the interior doors in the building — a huge financial savings! Hand rails are up. Rock is being compacted for the driveway, and employees from our Production and IT departments are installing sound proofing to the studio walls.
We are so excited to see the progress at the new It Is Written headquarters. Every day things are changing. HVAC units are being connected, bathroom fixtures are in place, the awnings are installed, and decking is going in for the employee picnic area. It's starting to feel like our new home.
Four pallets of bricks have been delivered to the job site for the front entrance to the new It Is Written headquarters. Included are over 300 bricks purchased and engraved by supporters of the ministry. Each time an employee, volunteer, or guest enters the building, they will be encouraged by the messages they read and inspired to reach another soul for Christ.
Sheet rock is in and warehouse racks are being installed. Paint is going on the walls and sidewalks are being poured. The server cages were installed, and the network wiring sits ready to be run to individual offices. We are hoping for an occupancy certificate in August.
An It Is Written employee unloads pallets into the new ministry headquarters. Many trucks have arrived with construction materials, but this truck is delivering things that we will use in the building. In this semi was the server pod that will be the technology nerve center of our new facility.
It's the little things! Sheet rock, outlets, and door handles are making the new It Is Written headquarters look and feel more and more like our new ministry home.
Join John Bradshaw on a recent tour of the new It Is Written headquarters! We appreciate your prayers and support as we finish our building project.
Details matter! It may look like progress has slowed on the new It IS Written headquarters, but it hasn't. Contractors and even some It Is Written staff are completing inside details including ethernet wiring, studio wall soundproofing, drywall installation, window installation, and outside rock masonry. It's not too late to have your name in the walkway at the main entrance. Buy a brick and be a part of this evangelistic headquarters.

Insulation, siding, and windows are all in process. God is going to use this space to spread His love further than we can even imagine right now. We are excited.
We can almost find our offices! Our new ministry headquarters is a constant matter of prayer. Please join us in praying that the builders stay safe and that the progress continues smoothly. We are planning an open house in July.

After removing nearly 12 feet of top soil, contractors worked in between spring rain showers to dig into the chert for the foundation of the new It Is Written ministry headquarters. Footers were being poured by the end of May.
The spring rain is stopping and work is progressing on It Is Written's new ministry headquarters. This month the retaining wall was laid.
The work of clearing the land continues.
This time lapse video shows the work of clearing and preparing the building site over 6 weeks, from mid-December to the end of January. We hope you enjoy watching the construction equipment as much as we did! Vrooom, vrooom!
Stakes were placed, and the work of clearing the ground continues.
In early December It Is Written received the building permit from the state of Tennessee. Construction has officially begun! Currently, the land is being cleared and prepared for building.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the new It Is Written ministry headquarters was held on July 10, 2017. More than 300 attended the event that took place in Collegedale, Tennessee.
The groundbreaking ceremony featured It Is Written representatives, local government and business leaders, and Seventh-day Adventist Church leadership including North American Division President Dan Jackson, Vice President of Media Gordon Pifher, Georgia-Cumberland Conference President Ed Wright, and Collegedale City Mayor Katie Lamb.
In preparation for the groundbreaking ceremony on July 10, 2017, John Bradshaw felled the first tree on the It Is Written property. A large portion of the land will eventually be cleared for the building site. This inaugural tree felling is the first step toward the completion of the new ministry headquarters.
