What were the primary takeaways from the survey?
- Overall, the church is very optimistic and excited about the future. There is a general sense that “God is moving” in a good direction.
- There are some past capital campaign hurts. We asked the question, “What would make a capital campaign experience redemptive?”. We learned there are past hurts.
- There is a desire for us to communicate often and be transparent.
- There is a campus preference. People are excited for what God is doing at each campus but there is a preference for projects at their own campus.
- The congregation values fiscal prudence. No one wants to see the church to do anything to jeopardize what they are experiencing now.
What is happening right now with the project?
We are in ongoing conversations with our architects to refine the project. We are researching the church’s debt capacity and debt tolerance. Our membership is always part of final decisions related to debt. These are things we want to address in our next family meeting later this spring.
Other questions we are working on:
- What is the scope of the next campus project?
- How did we decide on what the next project will be?
- What will the building design look like?
- How much is it going to cost?
- How are we going to pay for it?
- How will a capital campaign work?
