11 12 Facility Update Next Steps  Prayer  Capital Campaign  Site Visitation and Worship (Tentative Worship Date: February 17, 2008)  Congregational Vote on Facility The congregation will have final authority in these matters: a. Call or Dismissal of the Senior Pastor (Article III Section 1 of the By-Laws) b. Election of the Board of Elders (Article III Section 3 of the By-Laws) c. Final Approval of the Annual Budget (Article II Section 2 of the By-Laws) d. Buy, Sell and Rent Property (Article VII of the Constitution) e. Amending the Constitution (Article VIII of the Constitution)  Either Sublease our Facility or Get Out of our Lease

12 13 Conclusion Final Thoughts  This will be one of the biggest steps of faith we will make as a church.  Will this allow us to become more “Transformissional?”  If God is not in this, no matter how much we do, it will not come about.  Will this allow our church to Mulitiply our DNA and Mission?
