Embracing our Future: Building Renewal
FGUC is in the middle of a three part building renewal effort to upgrade ouf facility for modern congregational and community uses.
- Phase One included blueprints, foundation, electrical, ventilation, fire-safety work, and the new glass-door entrance. Thanks to tremendous support of the congregation, over a million dollars was raised without debt to achieve these ends. This phase was completed in 2010.
- Phase Two is scheduled for May of 2012. The Lower Hall ceiling and ventilation is to be completed and the Hall divided into four more meeting rooms for Adult, Child, and Community uses. Most of the money needed for this project is in hand. The project is to be completed during months with lower levels of activity (i.e. before September).
- Phase Three involves the transposition of the Upper Hall, Kitchen, Offices and Sanctuary. The central offices will be replaced by a spacious foyer. While the project has been approved in principle, a congregational vote is needed, pending the final fundraising push, to authorize the third stage.
