Bethany Covenant Church

Building Committee

The charter of the Building Committee is to develop and implement plans to expand our Sacred Space. The reality is that every space in our facility is, in a very real sense, sacred. Every place is a place where we meet with God and with one another. Every place is a place that symbolizes and enables the building of community, the sending forth into mission and the worship of God, all sacred tasks in the truest sense of the phrase. In every step of this process and every decision along the way, we must keep first in our minds that we are creating sacred space.

Bethany Covenant Church has been growing.  In the past few years, however, it seems as if we’ve been hitting a glass ceiling in Sunday morning worship attendance.  This ceiling is created in part by limited parking space, and in part by limited sanctuary space.  This is one of the reasons we are looking into potential expansion of the facilities.

But it is not the only thing we are after.  Indeed, it is not even the primary thing.  We feel that our role as a church is not merely to make room for people to worship with us, but to welcome them into a community of faith and all that that entails. 

Our vision motto is Building Community in Christ and our desire and prayer is that whatever plans we make spring from, are guided by, and fulfill this vision. 

We covet your prayers for this process.

Only prayer, for us as well as by us, will keep us within the will of God, and only that will lead to His blessing of this enterprise.
