Opening Prayer

Where Have We Been?

Where Have We Been ICN was started by E.E. Gross almost 100 years ago The church is located at Richardson Ave & Derstine Ave from Currently a Korean Church.

Where Have We Been In 1963, ICN opened at our current location In 2002, led by the vision of Pastor Larry Cook, a major renovation expanded ICN to comfortably serve 500 people Now 13 years later, we’ve exceeded that attendance level

Where Have We Been Since 2002, our church has grown from 327 people in morning worship to 524 this year in two services. Small group attendance has grown from 257 to 397 this year.

Where Have We Been

ICN Growth Projections (4%) YEARWORSHIP SERVICESMALL GROUPS

Where Have We Been A Strategy Team was formed in 2011 with the purpose of exploring God’s vision for handling the growth while maintaining the current DNA of ICN (goals, values, personality, missions etc.)

Where Are We Now?

What Was Discovered 1. There is a lack of available classroom space We are currently at 100% capacity for Sunday morning small groups and for Wednesday evening ministries for all ages. We are using spaces never intended to be classrooms (Chapel, staff offices, etc.)

What Was Discovered 2. There is a need for more parking Parking lots are full during peak times with many cars parking in non-designated areas Parking at North Penn Animal Hospital and Inglewood Elementary School are not long term solutions

Parking Challenges

What Was Discovered 3.There is a need to update and refresh the church building Flooring in many parts of the facility Café kitchen Restrooms in the children’s wing and staff hallway Painting Replacing antiquated and worn out equipment

What Was Considered Do Nothing and Ignore the Issues Plant a New Church or Start a Satellite Church Relocate the Church Rent Office / Classroom Space in the Community Building Up - Second Floor with Current Footprint Maximize use of the Current Space and renovate the auxiliary building, including alternative night classes and increased worship services options

What Was Recommended To Board Remain at current site and maximize use of the property and facilities including: – Create room for more small groups by relocating the staff offices to the auxiliary building (7 additional rooms) – Increase parking area (68 more spaces) – Update and Refresh the Church Building Maintain the current DNA of ICN (goals, values, personality, missions etc.) Remain in a posture of obedience and surrender to God

On July 17, 2014, the Church Board approved moving forward with project and determining the costs to complete the project. What Was Approved

What this Project Accomplishes Allows Expansion of Group Ministry – 250 additional people will be able to join small groups under current worship service schedule – More bible study groups, needs-based groups and new ABF/Sunday School classes – VBS space Allows us to Grow to ,000 People Depending on the Number of Weekly Worship Services – Goal is to not exceed per service.
