building
expansion program
here are some details of the new building
expansion program.
the building expansion program essentially
replaces what was the phase 5 portion of the
Building Faith program. this new program
encompasses much more than the original phase 5
as it was originally presented.
this program is in response to issues originally
identified along with what was accomplished in
the original phases 1 - 4. it was decided to do
what we now call the building expansion
program last as it would be the most costly.
as with the original phases the main emphasis is
to honor God by giving Him our best and to
provide an inviting facility for visitors.
the three main areas to be addressed are:
 |
provide a clearly identified and inviting
main entry |
|
|
design a large open area outside the
sanctuary for fellowship |
|
|
plan for future needs in terms of
office/classroom space |
all exterior finishes will match current
building architectural details.
the following images and details are those
shared at the congregational meeting on january
20,2008; which were enthusiastically received.
floor plans
