God gave us a beautiful building and property for ministry and mission. Past generations and our current Trustees have faithfully maintained it as an effective mission center. Now, we need to plan for future ministry needs and vision. I proposed the following improvements and investments to the Board of Trustees and Congregation for feedback. Over the next five years, I would like to see the Congregation plan for updates, maintenance, remodeling and expanding God’s mission center at Seventh and Broadway. This will require a Capital Improvements Campaign. Please consider the following proposal, and then send me your thoughts, ideas and dreams.
