Q&A
Where We Go From Here
Form a Building Committee
Formulate How the Building Committee Will: Work with Scott project by project to achieve best results Use the Ministry Plan/Core Values to guide their decisions/prioritize projects Consider city ordinance/codes and project cost estimates in prioritizing projects Use others in the body to make “working groups” for portions of each project Report to the elders
The Building Fund is Currently at: $73,684.47
