This committee's tasks were to sale the Southmore Property, develop a plan for the Preston Road property, and secure financing for the relocation plan. The committee had a gigantic mission, but began their work in earnest. The congregation remained faithful to the committee and supported their many efforts. The congregation responded to the financial challenge on two occasions with Capital Fund Campaigns, a Matching Fund Challenge, and a bond program to fund the new complex. The hundreds of hours of oversight and committee work demonstrate the integrity and commitment of the leadership of the congregation.
Leadership can only lead when they have a group of dedicated followers.
This experience of relocation has provided a wonderful example of God's people working together to achieve a common goal. The goals for the future included the continued development of the Preston Road property and the expansion of the community based ministry already started. With quality leadership committed to Christ and a congregation with similar fervor, great gains for the kingdom of God will be made. Praise the Lord for our history and Praise the Lord for our future opportunities.
