What led to the decision to make our church building a goal of the Strategic Plan 2003?
We love our church. We have wonderful memories of children baptized, Christmas concerts, grandchildren married, loved ones buried. It is our faith home and is dear to us. As with any home, there comes a time when updates, repairs and changes need to be made. The sanctuary part of our building is 55 years old. The upper hall part of our building is 45 years old. Over the last few years, the church has begun showing its age in many ways. Just as running a business or a farm has changed dramatically in the past 55 years, so the way we use our church building to carry out our mission and ministry has changed. In the past few years, the church board noticed that they were receiving many requests concerning the building. The board decided to recommend to the congregation that we develop an overall plan for the building rather than dealing with these issues one by one.
