FPC is Expanding!
Present Process - We formed a building committee, hired an architechural team that is headed by Don Mahoney of Salt Lake City working with DCA Group, and hired Kairos ("God's time"), a financial consulting firm with national scope and Rene Myers, a Utah Presbyterian minister's wife, as a local leader. Many meetings, surveys, and discussions have resulted in a conceptual plan that will cost approximately $2 million to come from a combination of contributions from the congregation and community, grants, loans, and other long-term options. This plan outlines ways to do this so we can accomplish the following:
- Address our accessibility and safety problems with a large new elevator and wheelchair ramps.
- Improve our current worship space by adding air conditioning, forced-air heating, a sound amplification system, better lighting and acoustics and improved resistance to earthquakes.
- Renovate our gym into a functional multi-purpose room to provide easily accessible space for after worship fellowship, to accomodate comfortable meals (and other gatherings) served from a kitchen on the same level, to supply a worship setting that nearly doubles our capacity when used for a second service or special religious events, or to promote large community gatherings such as wedding and funeral receptions, interfaith services, etc.
- Provide more accessible, brighter, larger, more attractive bathrooms - and more of them.
- Remove the house on the church-owned property east and adjacent to the church.
- Expand the building to the east - on to the site of the house owned by the church - to allow new rooms with space for flexible uses, including new church offices, a meeting room, youth rooms, a place for the choir to prepare, storage and janitorial space, an elevator and an additional staircase.
