Our future
Next phase
O
ur church-family is growing fast. In the past five years our congregation has grown by over 400 people! Our pre-school enrollment has tripled and we now have a waiting list for families who need our child-care services. The need for expanding our building is important now, and will be much greater if we wait. It is time to expand our building so we can serve more families who are seeking Christ.
Our future Phase 1. Input The first thing we want to do is gather members of our congregation together and get their input on the plan. We want all of our members to have a thorough understanding of the project.
Phase 2. Budgeting / Bidding After input from members, we will put together our needs and speak with several different general contractors who will help us in devising our final budget. We will select a contractor after these discussions.
Phase 3. Design and Plans The committee, working with the contractor will develop plans for the project. We will post designs in the church for members to see as the project develops.
Is to serve Phase 4. Fundraising With prayer and God’s guidance we will raise the needed funds to add to our building fund. These additional funds will help us in offsetting any unexpected costs. The vast majority of the money has been saved over time. The additional fundraising may be only 5% of the total cost of the project.
Phase 5. Construction The building committee is projecting that construction could begin as early as March, 2016. Although final projections will be obtained in the planning process, we project the construction phase may take six to nine months. During construction we will have to cope with the impact the construction will have on parking and access to the building.
