  • Two meeting rooms
  • Board room to also provide as collection counting room
  • Four offices (Pastor, Associate Pastor, Pastoral Minister, etc.
  • Two appointment rooms (for meetings with couples preparing for marriage, with families preparing for funerals, counselling, etc.)

Our Building Committee is hosting two update sessions for all parishioners.  We will update on the process with the city planning department, introduce our Architect, and present some initial sketches of the church design and layout.  Along with our building committee, Achim Klaas, our liturgical consultant will be present.  It will be an opportunity for all parishioners to see our progress and be informed of next steps.  There will be a time for questions.
