We'll keep you up-to-date here with new updates regarding our Deep Roots campaign to expand our facilities.
The expansion project is in an exciting phase as we are developing our Construction Document in order to send the project out for bid. Sketches of the facilities have been provided to the church. These include details of the auditorium layout, the kitchen details, the lobby and the outside property. The team has also completed the preliminary design of the HVAC equipment and layout and researched a number of new technologies to make the building more efficient and useful.
Over the past few months, many of our members have been involved on a number of sub-teams. These teams have begun the internal design (furnishings, colors, materials, etc.), property design and landscaping, exterior colors and materials, audio/video/lighting specifications, security and safety design and signage. There has been a great amount of involvement from many members on these teams.
Please continue to pray for everyone involved in making decisions regarding these plans. As we prepare to enter the next phase, we are excited about the opportunity our new facilities will bring us to outreach to our community and bring more people to God.

How would you like to turn a portion of your online purchases into donations to our expansion fund? We have enrolled in a program called OneCause, which was recommended to us by Gary Ealy, the consultant working with us on the campaign. Many popular websites participate, including Land's End, Circuit City, Dell, Best Buy, Ebay, Apple Itunes, Norsdstrum, Macy's and Amazon. This is a year-round program, meaning the benefit doesn't stop with Christmas shopping. Continue to use this site throughout the coming year and we'll generate even more donations for our expansion!

Deep Roots ~ New Growth Campaign comes to a close |
|
|
|
 Our Deep Roots ~ New Growth Campaign has come to a close. The three year initiative to begin raising money for our building expansion was an outstanding success. The campaign received almost $1.4 million of the approximately $1.5 million pledged. This has enabled us to purchase the adjacent properties, move the sewer line, hire an architect, and complete the initial design of the buliding.

Deep Roots ~ New Growth Campaign Information |
|
|
|
More than just a neat slogan. Deep Roots, New Growth focuses on two very exciting facts. The Westport Road church has deep roots in the St. Matthews community. But more importantly, our deep roots are based on a sincere faith in the word of God. These deep roots are demonstrated through the extraordinary growth we have seen over the past ten years.
We have been dealing with the growth in various ways since 1997. Expanded parking, split services, children's worship, and many other methods have been utilized to maximize the usefulness of our facilities. We are now at a point where more significant measures must be taken.
This campaign is more than about giving. It is about reassessing your priorities and lifestyles and determining how you can dedicate more of your resources to God. In 2 Samuel 24:24, King David declared "I will not offer to God that which costs me nothing.". The challenge is to find ways, boldly and prayerfully, to let our giving touch our living.
