New Sanctuary
A Place for Everyone is a nine minute educational video explaining the project.
The campaign's theme succinctly describes the reason and motivation for our work, to be certain everyone has a place to worship with us. With the sanctuary requiring major work on the roof and electrical system, along with pew cushions and carpet, and our services being over seventy-five percent full a majority of the time, we believed 2008 was the most cost effective time to expand the sanctuary.
The campaign also enabled retiring the $1.6 million in debt from our last campaign and purchase of the "green" parking lot. And, issues such as placing a sprinkler system in the sanctuary, enlarging the fellowship area next to the sanctuary, and making the building more secure for both children and adults during the week were a high priority. As always, we devote ten percent of the money given to mission projects.
