In January the CDC was developed and tasked to assess the current use of our campus and to submit a recommendation to the Council on how we could improve that usage to support and grow our current ministries. 

Upon our initial assessment, it was quickly realized that the growth of our ministries was severely impacted by our current building space.  So the CDC set out to research the possibility and impacts of gaining additional space.  After discussing short term options to squeeze more space out of our existing floor plan, the committee turned to long term options.  The CDC found that a project to use more acreage for building additional space onto our current building was needed but was an extremely expensive endeavor. 

Estimates from National Covenant Properties showed that the amount we could borrow from them was insufficient to support this type of building project.  As we discussed and researched our fund raising alternatives, it became apparent that our current property was indeed a valuable financial resource if placed on the market. 

The question is not “Should we move or should we stay”. 

The fact is that we need more space for our ministries to grow.  So the question becomes “How can we pay for that additional space.”

This question is the true purpose behind the recommendation that the CDC has submitted to the Council.
