    CAPITAL CAMPAIGN - BUILDING PROJECT

Our parish is growing and we are currently unable to meet the space needs for all our members and visitors including children’s education, Parish ministries and community activities. We have greatly benefited from the addition of Roper Hall, the Gathering Space and the Child Care Wing that was completed over ten years ago. We are ready for the next step. Having permanent dedicated Christian Education space for our children, room to accommodate the enormous variety of Parish Ministries (some 77 of them) and use of facilities to support the community through music and theatre performance and support meetings is an important part of honoring our history and creating our future.

Building in Phases

The phased approach to the project represents the commitment of the Rector and Vestry to guide our Parish in our mission of seeking and serving Christ in all persons. There is consensus on the need for additional space, expansion of community outreach and enhancing our already excellent music program. There is also a commitment on the part of the Rector and Vestry not to over extend the Parish financially, but rather to make prudent decisions on the allocation of funds between ongoing operational costs (staff, programs, utilities, etc.) and an investment in the future of our Parish. By phasing the project, we can build as funds are available vs. taking on long term debt or cutting much needed support from our existing programs.

Currently Phase I includes the church and gallery modifications needed to accommodate the new organ which will be installed in the fall of 2008 as well as a small parlor. Phase II is the building that will house the administrative office. Phase III will include the full finish out of the Phase II building and any modifications to Building B. Phase IV includes the chapel, sacristy and multi-purpose space (small auditorium). As funds become available, the phases of the project may change. In the best case scenario, contributions will allow us to build the entire project without dividing it into phases.

Cost of the Building Project

We have contributions and financial commitments from Parishioners for $5.6 million as a result of the Capital Campaign. The building project will require $7 million, with an additional $1.6 million needed to complete the organ project. Our goal is to designate ten percent of the total raised to the endowment fund for Outreach. It is important to understand however, that adding additional months or years to the construction, by phasing the project, will increase the total project cost.

Help us honor the vision of our founders: a vision for ministry and education, for worship and music, and for outreach. Thank you for your consideration.
