Additional Funding Needs & Special Projects

Kitchen Update and Remodel

After 25 years in our building, some wear and tear is beginning to show. Cabinets are starting to peel, trim falling lose, old caulking has allowed for leaks, etc. As we seek to repair these issues, we also want to remodel for more functional use. The Newman kitchen has been put to the test and well used over the years. From student dinners, hospitality events, to personal use. We want to upgrade to a top notch space for our students to enjoy using while they gather for events in our space.

Estimated Start: Within 6 months

Estimated Expenses:
$6,000 - new cabinets through Steven’s Ind.
$1,500 - appliances (stove and dishwasher)
$600 - kitchen sink and faucet
$600 - flooring at $7/sq ft
$100 - painting
$1,200 - contingency

$10,000 Goal

Brick and Mortar Repair

After a building assessment, we were advised to obtain estimates to repair the masonry as wind and rain have weathered our building. While the building is still sound, we want to be steps ahead in maintaining a stable exterior structure. Repairs would include washing, grinding, replacing, repointing, and sealing of brick and stone. This project is one that does not occur often but is crucial in the upkeep of this building which we desire to keep occupied for many years to come.

Estimated Start: 1-3 Years

Estimated Expenses:
$40,000 - wash & prep
$20,000 - grinding & repointing
$5,000 - brick replacement
$35,000 - sealing of joints by doors and windows
$10,000 - contingency

$110,000 Goal

HVAC Controls Upgrade

With technology advancements and improvements, we are overdue for an upgrade to our HVAC control system. We are grateful it has lasted beyond its expected life but are now at a spot where servicing is challenging or impossible. An upgraded control system will allow for greater efficiency in temperature control, convenient scheduling, and increased ease of use. Controls will move from a physical system to online accessibility. With this upgrade, we’ll better accommodate our students.

Estimated Start: 3-5 Years

Estimated Expenses:
$30,000 - new software & control system
$50,000 - contingency

$35,000 Goal

Basement Furniture

What a great problem when we have students fighting for the best small group spots! We wish to refurnish part of our basement into more of a “cozy” space. This will allow us to accommodate more small groups as well as create a welcoming “hangout” space for students to have fellowship.

Estimated Start: unknown

Project Needs:
Sofas & Chairs
Rugs & Lamps
TV & Tables
Storage Cabinet & Games

$7,500 Goal

Back Yard Landscaping

During warm months, our back yard space is often used for bonfires and volleyball. We wish to get a load of sand to add to the court. The ‘patio’ space can be upgraded with pavers to prevent weed growth. New all weather table and chair sets will allow for more student seating at events. Finally a raised bed will allow for beautiful flowers to bloom in the spring and fall when students are present.

Estimated Start: unknown

Project Needs:
Volleyball court improvements
Patio pavers
Raised flower bed
New seating options

Tabernacle Polishing

Our chapel tabernacle received a cleaning and polish as well as a few small repairs. With it’s new, bright shine, it draws our eyes into focus on Jesus present behind the door. This was one of those expenses that rarely pop into our budget but have a lasting impact. We contracted the cleaning with Joseph Demetro and are signed under a 10 year warranty.
