Facilities update process and criteria• Building Committee leveraged work of previous facilities

committees, conducted numerous discussion sessions and enlisted the services of a church growth consultant

• Primary Needs (not in any particular order)– Improved entrances– Gathering space– Activity space– More classroom space Upgrade children’s areas – focus of families with children Security – especially children’s areas All activities under one roof – service attended is influenced by

where children are

2-7-2011

Facilities linkage to Vision and Mission• Commitment to downtown

– Investing in current campus – not moving

• Commitment to downtown ministries– Ensuring good space for Neutral Ground, Art’s Place, Loaves & Fish– Allowing space for current and future community outreach ministries

(700 Main)

• Focus on families with young children– Remodeling and securing children’s areas– Contemporary worship in same building as children’s activities

• Support current approach to “church”– Improved entrances– Gathering space– Activity space– More classroom space

Team looked closely at 3 concepts

• Migrate to 700 Main side of street

• Contemporary Worship Addition

• Narthex Expansion

• All include remodeling and securing the children’s areas, major building system upgrades and some renovations to main sanctuary altar area.

2-7-2011

Migrate to 700 Main side of street

• Vision was to move to completely new buildings on north side of Perry

• Done in phases to minimize disruption and initial costs

• Any functional first step was expensive and resulted in redundant construction– Bridge across Perry and additions to Shaw Bldg– $7-8 million just for first phase

• Eliminated as a legitimate option

2-7-2011

Remaining 2 concepts

• Contemporary Worship Addition - recommended– Significant addition on side of Shaw Bldg– Includes dedicated space for contemporary worship in

same building as all other activities

• Narthex Expansion - alternative– Smaller scale, less expensive, fewer benefits– Extend Narthex toward Perry and hold traditional and

contemporary services in current sanctuary

force flow through new entrance ($100k)– Covered drop-off beside addition ($100k)– Remodeling Wesley Hall stage to class / storage

rooms ($50k)
