PURPOSES OF TODAY’S MEETING WITH CONGREGATION

• Inform parishioners about our translation of your ministries emphases into Preliminary Facility Goals/Requirements
 
• Elicit input from parishioners to guide those facility goals/requirements

 

BACKGROUND

• Building Feasibility Committee concluded that expansion was needed to accommodate growth that St Chad’s is experiencing – before current facilities “capped” our size and ministries
• Vestry approved BC3’s approach to facility expansion — enhancing St. Chad’s ability to perform its ministries
• Seek a comprehensive physical plant for “steady state” congregation approximately twice as large as current size – with a “move-in” target of spring 2010
• July “town hall” meetings elicited parishioners’ views on which ministries should receive emphasis
• BC3 translated those ministries into Preliminary Facility Goals, endorsed by Vestry, and reviewed by Vestry’s programmatic sub-committees
• Presentations by “short-listed” architect candidates to be guided by these Preliminary Facility Goals
• PFG strive for sufficient detail to allow architects to create some design ideas, but not so detailed as to foreclose their creativity or experience
• Candidate architects to make presentations to BC3 in late October, with one chosen soon after
