We continue to make progress on the ministry expansion plan. Last week the Ministry Expansion Committee voted to partner with Whiting Turner construction group to serve as our general contractors for the project. They are excited to work with us and will be joining our architects (Charles Alexander Designs) and Civil Engineering firm (Fisher, Collins, and Carter) to form our team. The committee plans to meet with all of the members of the team in the next couple weeks to get the process moving forward. In the meantime, we have also hired an environmental engineering firm (Air, Land, and Water Engineering) to inspect the entire building for asbestos and provide a full report of where it is located and what the cost would be to remove it.
Also, our finance committee remains hard at work determining the best options for us in regards to borrowing the monies we will need to fund the project. They hope to make a recommendation to the session soon.
So, that is where we are at the moment in the process and, as always, we covet your prayers and support.
