In the fall and winter of 2019-2020, our congregation held a hugely successful Capital Campaign, raising $6 million to fund the much needed expansion of our physical campus. Two weeks after we voted to proceed with the final design on March 1, 2020, we went into pandemic lockdown.
In light of the pandemic, we evisioned our building expansion project for a post-pandemic world, and on Sunday, Feb. 21st, the congregation met online and voted overwhelmingly (144-4) to proceed with a revised Phase 1 of our Building Expansion Project, a master plan for an eventual doubling of our campus.
On Sunday, April 26th, Rev. Gretchen announced a revised sanctuary design based on feedback from you, our beloved congregants!
In January of 2023, in light of doubled interest rates and tripled financing costs, we announced a plan to pivot to a member-funded loan rather than a traditional bank loan. Learn more.
