Our Needs

In 2016 we completed a successful capital campaign that provided a firm foundation for our future in many ways. Yet, despite our strong heritage of mission outreach, some challenges remain.

HVAC System

Our antiquated HVAC system has reached the end of its life expectancy.

  • The control units don’t allow zone heating and cooling. Having to heat and cool the entire building is not cost or energy efficient.
  • The boilers (water heating system), chillers (chilled water system), air handling units, and fans are old and at risk of failure.
  • The system has been requiring more frequent, complex, and costly repairs, and replacement parts are hard to find.

Roof Replacement & Materials

Sections of the church building’s roof are nearing the end of their useful life.

  • The south side roof has constant water leaks and subsequent damage.
  • The old roof undoubtedly leaks warm and cold air as evidenced by our higher-than-normal utility costs.
 


Parking Lots

Our north and south parking lots have unsightly and potentially dangerous potholes, cracks, and crumbling asphalt.

  • These issues allow water damage that can result in even more extensive and expensive damage.
  • The lots' parking stripes are badly faded and do not maximize the number of parking spaces.  

Interior

Our church’s worn and out-of-date interior doesn’t reflect the warm and welcoming community we strive to be.

  • Our first-floor walls need to be revitalized with a fresh coat of paint.
  • The multi-purpose room’s cracking, flaking, and peeling ceiling paint is both unwelcoming and unhealthy.
  • The flooring in the narthex, café, and church offices is worn and damaged.

Memorial Garden

Members have expressed a desire for a memorial garden on our church property. A private and peaceful sanctuary would be a perpetual resting place for the cremated ashes of members and their families.

Electrical System

Our electrical system is not energy or cost efficient – our electric bill averages about $4,500 a month. We need to be better financial and environmental stewards of God's gifts.
