Manna Church Kids Addition in Killeen, TX

Manna Kids is the specific name of the new 3,600-square-foot steel building being constructed at 1826 Stagecoach Rd in Killeen. This project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) as the Manna Church Kids Addition, is a new construction effort by Manna Church to expand its kids ministry space. The structure will house three dedicated classrooms and two bathrooms, providing expanded educational and programmatic areas for children within the congregation.

The estimated cost for the Manna Kids facility is $600,000, resulting in a cost of $167 per square foot. This total is below the median estimated cost of $850,000 for new construction filings in Bell County, while the per-square-foot rate is close to the county median of $151. The scheduled build window of 152 days is shorter than the county median of 242 days, indicating a focused and efficient construction timeline for this specific addition.

The project was registered with TDLR in August 2026, and plan review is pending. Construction is scheduled to begin in September 2026, with completion targeted for January 2027. This private, privately funded project is situated on private land for private use, ensuring the new Manna Kids space is integrated into the existing church property without public access requirements during construction.

The registered accessibility specialist for the Manna Kids project is Joseph Paul Vann.
