Facility Building Project

Complete and submit the form at the bottom of this web page. A project leader will get back to you shortly.

We are also holding two in-person Town Halls in the Sanctuary in March 2025:

• March 16 – 12:15pm
• March 30 – 4:30pm

You are invited to attend either one of these to hear more about the project and get your questions answered.

The March 16 Town Hall will be video recorded to watch later.

We are still working on the final details for the renovation timeline. Ideally, we would love to begin as soon as this summer.

We will be voting at the April 27 Annual Business Meeting. Things we need to vote on and approve include the total cost, authority to begin construction, and the schedule/timing for that construction.

The renovation project is expected to total around 2.7 million dollars. This is not an insurmountable amount of money to raise, but it will require everyone at GracePoint to be “all in” on their commitment to contribute to this project.

We will are beginning to ask for financial pledges from leadership and will extend that to the congregation soon. We expect this to be a three-year commitment.

We do not want to incur debt to make the repairs and improvements to our campus. That said, we will need to have at minimum a bridge loan that we can draw against to bridge any gaps in giving-timing vs invoices due & payable for work completed.​

To get the best pricing possible, we may agree to build at low-demand months and with odd staccato of labor inputs, but these savings will also require we promptly pay invoices independent of the flow of funds into the Capital Campaign account.​

Gracepoint has not had a major Capital Campaign to expand & improve our facility since 1997 – almost 30 years. Despite the burden of the debt it incurred, we have extinguished that mortgage, and we have had a fantastic facility to use in pursuit of our mission. We as leaders are glad for many faithful people who made that happen.​
​
Inflation in the construction industry has run hot for the past five years since the Covid pandemic in 2020. Costs are up about 40%! According to the professionals we are working with, it is expected that this trend will continue, although at a slightly reduced pace – maybe 6%-7%.​
​
This means the price for our $2.7M project will increase between $150,000-$175,000 annually if we wait to start it. We will never “catch up” to the growing price.​
