Centennial Campaign
Preparing for 100 years
In 2027, our building will turn 100.
In preparation, we are exploring a three-year capital campaign to raise funds for renovating the Pearson Room and repainting and re-carpeting the sanctuary.
Overall Vision
Open the interior of the church building to the surrounding neighborhood
What is included in the renovation?
- Replace the deteriorating front wall with a new wall in the same location
- Existing yellow Plexiglas panels set in deteriorating wood frames will be replaced with energy-efficient double-pane clear glass windows in durable aluminum frames with roll-down shades for sun control
- Improve the interior layout of the space to accommodate its various uses
- Improve the outdated finishes to create a more modern and welcoming space
- Replace and expand the kitchen area to improve storage and aesthetics – replace bi-fold doors with sliding doors
- Remove the existing coat closet to create a presentation wall for adult forums and council meetings – add wood panel doors to conceal media equipment when not in use
- Create two new large storage closets with wood sliding doors in the area near the nursery room entry – one to be used for coats, the other for Pearson Room storage.
- Create a new storage cabinet at open shelf area at handicap ramp
- Replace dark surfaces with lighter colors (colors and materials to be selected later by the Interior Care Team)
- Update the lighting to create an open and uplifting look
- Replace existing worn out carpet with flexible and durable carpet tiles to maintain current acoustic qualities
Existing Exterior and Interior:
What is included in the campaign?
