This is a very exciting time for our congregation. At the January congregation meeting a decision was made to build a new church facility at our current location. To achieve that goal, the Building For our Future (BFF) Task Force was created by the board with the job of coming up with a plan for a capital campaign to accomplish this, and staged architectural plans for constructing a new facility and dramatically reforming the grounds to properly support it.
As you can imagine, this project will be the work of the entire congregation – over the next year our task force plans to work hard at soliciting input from many directions. We will try to communicate in a variety of ways to make sure people know what is happening, and also to hear their voices.
Our initial step has been to contact a capital campaign consultant to help determine a realistic fundraising goal, and how to proceed with that campaign. A grant from the Endowment Trust will make that consultation possible.
Over the next few months we will start trying to identify architects that are interested and appropriate to help us with this project. As that progresses, we hope to share potential visions of our church-to-be with you.
Our charge from the board is to present a plan for a capital campaign and staged construction plan by next June 1. That is an aggressive time line, but we will try to meet it.
If you wish to discuss this project, please look for announcements of community meetings or reach out to a member of the task force to share your thoughts and questions.
