Since the beginning of 2009 the Diaconate has had two teams working to address our current facility needs. At our 2010 Leadership lunch, May 23rd the plans that have developed out of those groups were shared with our leadership teams.
Here are some links to what was presented. (click on the links for more info.)
Facility Strategic Plan document
Sunday June 13th 2:00PM
We will be having an informational meeting about the building project. Come and see what the Design Vision and the Nesler Development Teams have been working on. There will be a short presentation of the recommended facility improvements and then a Question & Answer time. Be sure to stop by the display in the east lobby by the church office.
Sunday June 27th Special Business Meeting (immediately after second service).
The purpose of this meeting will be for members to vote on the proposed recommendations for facility improvements.
Jason: The material is well presented, as it taps into contemporary ecclesiological program thinking. This is my first chance to examine the plans. This first phase will spark interest in how we can best proceed with next steps to bring our campus and physical plant up to expectations held by most church “shoppers.” The concept plan seems quite useful, Of course lots of details have yet to be decided, which will require consultations with engineers and architect(s). (Perhaps the architectural school at Judson University could be tapped for free expertise and fresh thinking on these points.)
I feel that we should dedicate some time to digest and enjoy the benefits of this first phase. In the interim, we can keep open a full range of options as we prayerfully engage in long-term strategic planning. For instance, it may be years before we can determine how best to maximize the use of our Nesler Road acreage – and everything changes with time.
I wish that Greg’s review last Sunday of the history of First Baptist had been taped, as it was brilliantly done, and inspirational. Jim Didier
