Building Committee
Update
Nov
14, 2005
The Building Committee
had its proposed plans for a new Fellowship Hall reviewed by the
District Board of Church Location and Building. The District Board
approved the basic plans. After some minor architectural revisions to
the building and its placement on the property on the north side of the
sanctuary, a congregational open forum was held for all members and
friends of the church to hear the Building Committee's proposal and to
ask questions and offer comments. Following
this open forum, a Church Conference was set by our District
Superintendent,
Rev. John Davis, for all members of the church to vote on this plan.
This
vote was approved.
Capital
Fund Campaign: In 2002, the church participated in a Capital
Fund Campaign. This Capital Fund giving period ends December,
2005. This campaign was directed by Rev. Ernie Porter of
Church Funding Associates. Estimated cost of the new Fellowship
Hall Building is about $450,000. Duke Endowment funds may be
available.
Fellowship hall work will involve the new
building above, plus remodeling the existing Fellowship Hall.
