Phase I: Renovation of the Social Hall and new air handlers for the Sanctuary. This phase addresses the Social Hall’s need for a safe and accessible stage, a new HVAC system, new lighting, new audio/visual capacities for a variety of services, and a welcoming and functional venue for both church events and community groups. New air handlers for the Sanctuary are also planned for this phase. Competitive bidding on Phase 1 is taking place in late 2024, and a general contractor is expected to be named in early 2025.

Concurrent with Phase I: Impactful Community Outreach Project. The church has partnered with Lansing Intentional Communities (LINCs) and Habitat for Humanity to renovate a house in Lansing for people on the autism spectrum to live independently while creating community connections. You can support this outreach by contributing financially or by volunteering your time. To indicate your interest in volunteering, click here.

Phase II: Sanctuary Modernization. This phase addresses the need for a safer, more accessible and extended chancel that allows for wider steps, an integrated ramp, a safer and integrated choir loft, and realigned pews that are more accessible and comfortable.

Phase III: Renovating and Revoicing the Pipe Organ. This phase will address many age-related problems we’ve had with our pipe organ in recent years. The goal is to restore it to full function, provide a more ergonomic console for the organist, and assure many more years of reliable service.
