First Presbyterian Church of Mason Building Task Force Report September 22, 2013
Task Force Members: Peter Robinson Barry Chapman Bonnie Friend Bob Filka Bill Pinches Architect: Jackie Hoist
Process For Developing Plan • Survey of Members & Friends of the Church • Narrative Vision Developed/Shared • Site Visits & Assessment from Structural Engineers • Site Visit & Assessment from Acoustical Technician • Review Potential Scope of Need With Presbytery • Congregation Feedback Today • Session Recommendation October • Financial Commitment Survey • Bank/Lender Discussions • Scope of Initial Work/Bids • Spring 2014 Begin?
Clarifications for Today • NO decisions have been made • Our discussions, meetings and consultations with the architect and THA have been a work in progress • Ultimate decision will need to be guided by prayer, clarity on needs versus wants & financial prudency • Comment & Question Cards (for those wanting confidentiality)
What are the functional “needs” of a church that wants to bring more people to Christ? • Think about our ever increasing visual world and how people (particularly younger generations) communicate and learn • Think about access to our church facilities…here in the sanctuary, downstairs and in our rest rooms • Think about how heat and coolness issues limit participation in key church activities and worship • Think about young parents and the security and comfort they want for their children
