The Rector’s Council wants to make sure that everyone in the congregation is completely up to date on all of the renovations going on with our new building.  With that in mind we are making these updates available.

Since we signed the lease with Ft. Caroline Presbyterian Church we received bids from two different companies to renovate the sanctuary.  ShayCore Enterprises Inc., a company partly owned by long-time friend of Church of the Messiah David Monk,  was the successful bidder and the Rector’s Council has accepted their proposal to renovate the sanctuary space.

This past Sunday Ft. Caroline Presbyterian Church’s leadership agreed to all of the changes we intend to make to the building and notified us on Monday of their approval.  This week, we began the process of pulling together all of the permits and gathering all of the required signatures.  Friday, August 23, we expect the permits to be submitted to the city.  It should take about one week for the city to officially put the permits “under review.”  Once the plans are under review David Monk and his team from ShayCore can begin the needed demolition within the room prior to renovating the sanctuary space.  If everything goes off with out any problems, we anticipate a six-week construction build-out which will put us into our new sanctuary in late October.  The Rector’s Council remains committed to keeping you informed and we will let you know as soon as we have any new information.  Please pray for favor with the city and that everything goes smoothly and according to plans and projections with the demolition and construction.
