This was put into place to prevent Parishes from building beyond their means and creating a financial crisis for subsequent parishioners.
The process for building a church building is intentionally deliberate for the aforementioned reason.

We are currently renting 11022 square feet of space. The proposed concept has a footprint of 15536 square feet. Because the concept is designed specifically for our use, the space will be much more effectively utilized.
The goal for the Building for Eternity-NOW capital campaign is $4.5 million.
We are in Phase I of our building project. The proposed facility allows for future build out of a permanent worship space. The current plan does allow for a more flexible gathering space and class rooms. In addition, the gathering space can accommodate the higher demand during Christmas and Easter.
