Facilities Update 
April 2023

Since July parishioners have donated over $120,000 for the replacement of the church roof and carpeting.  Thank you for your generosity!   ​
Facilities Update: 
Phase one of this work is beginning.  Over the next 4 weeks EDS will be on the campus installing new sealants to the windows and joints on the church building.  REI Engineers is working on the plans for replacing the roof, and this summer during July and August the roof will be replaced.  Once that is completed, the carpet will be replaced.  The new carpet has already been purchased and will be installed in sections over a number of weeks.
Facilities Background:
While the mortgage for the new church was being paid off, some maintenance items were deferred.  At that time, we planned to address maintenance needs once the mortgage was paid.  This was paid off in 2020, and then the pandemic hit.  Since 2020 between the parish and school we have spent over $900,000 on major repairs.  These repairs have included: 
  • replacing a portion of the heat pumps in the old part of the school 
  • replacing the boiler in the old part of the school 
  • new fire alarm for the school 
  • cooling tower for the old part of the school 
  • 6 new HVAC units for school rooms and trailers 
  • campus drainage project (to address water intrusion under the gym floor, in the basement, and in the elevator shaft of the Olive Tree building) 
  • brick façade work on the front of the school ​​
  • new gym floor in the fellowship hall 
  • new roof for the Olive Tree building 
  • new church furnace 
  • new duct work in the church 
  • new compressors for the sanctuary 
  • new controls for HVAC in the church 
  • new church boiler 
  • new church sound system ​
In the coming year the parish and school combined will spend more than $500,000 to replace the church roof and carpeting as well as finish replacing the heat pumps in the old part of the school. ​
