Frequently Asked Questions

The following list of questions will be updated as new questions arise and as the building process unfolds.

Where will the new building go? What part of the existing building will change or be torn down?

Preliminiary building plan diagrams will be available on October 14th. After that, pictures will be available here.

The existing building was built in several stages. The area between the gymnasium and the original part of the building will be torn down (up to where the glass door is located in the hallway outside Pastor Brad's office). The new building will occupy that space, but reach further out toward both the parking lot and the playground area. A new entrance will be located on the Bradt Road side of the building, where there will also be a lift with accessibility to the other levels. The new building will contain primarily a wider entrance area and hallway and classrooms and nurseries. The offices of the church staff will be relocated downstairs to where the present primary classrooms are located. Renovation will be made to that area as well as the narthex, the sanctuary, the Fireside Room and the location of the current infant nursery.

When will the building be built? How will the construction affect ongoing programs at the church?

We expect construction to begin in April 2008. The majority of the building construction will take place during the summer of 2008, and plans are being considered for possible off-site services or using the gym for a short period of time. Please pray for this process and watch for more details. We currently anticipate the "grand opening" of the new building to take place in October 2008.
