The Transition Team is working on easing the journey through all the transitions in the near future — any construction, relocation, re-scheduling of classes and meetings — that will impact our members and the life of the church. Since March of 2008, the team has met to keep abreast of construction and development plans and to deliver information to the members in a timely fashion. We will continue to post the most current information available on this webpage and in the FAQs.
This is just the beginning...
Letter from Laurel Hallman. On April 6, 2008, the congregation heard that we have received the contractor’s bids for our building plan. As you know if you have ever built, added on, renovated, or simply considered such a thing—this is the part where the rubber hits the road. more
Steve Crozier's comments. Meeting our Chart and Compass goals for capacity, finding a way for our facilities to meet our growth needs through 2010 and beyond, has been a wonderful challenge. You may remember when we began assessing our needs, asking focus groups to help us determine our most pressing priorities and our fondest dreams. more
The Facilities Team has been working closely with the architects to establish a new building design which allows us to stay within our $7-million budget while preserving our long-term vision for the campus and meeting our priority program space-needs. The architects provided a new design for review this month which reduced square footage in anticipation that certain elements of the overall master plan would be scheduled for a later phase and our contractor has reviewed the design to project an estimated cost. The Facilities Team met on July 8 to review the new estimates for the revised phase 1 building plan and will meet again before determining their recommendation to Laurel and the Board for consideration later this month. A groundbreaking early next year is still anticipated at this time.
As we continue to balance program, budget, and vision, we believe that wonderful things are on the horizon.
