Adult space at the second floor Education Building is dedicated. Adult SS and Discipleship classes meet there. Committee meetings use the floor. There is no time when Preschool, Children or Youth meet on this floor. Preschool space at the ground floor Education Building is dedicated. Preschool SS and extended session meets there. Weekday Preschool uses the floor. There is no time when Children, Youth or Adults meet on this floor. Children’s space at the ground floor below the Worship Center is dedicated. Children’s SS and Missions groups meet there. Events like Harvest Fest use the space. There is no time when Preschool, Youth or Adults meet on this floor.

The Long Range Plan was intended to provide space similar to that just mentioned. This would not be a shared space but a space where youth ministry occurs. This is currently being done in the Youth Room of the temporary building which will someday be removed. A new dedicated area appropriate for youth ministry is intended for the next building phase.

 No youth informal assembly.  No activities room/area. (There is currently one in the youth room.)  No storage for youth equipment at second floor. Youth minister will need to transport equipment up to second floor every week to setup.  No Kitchen or service preparation area.  No space that could have youth décor.  Youth SS space would be split from this assembly space. Future class expansions would require the Youth Division to be split across the campus.

 The present plan appears to have been produced around other limiting factors and then the question was asked where can we put the youth ministry.  The process should start with addressing item three of the Long Range Plan by meeting the needs for appropriate dedicated space for the youth ministry.

 Provides youth space that will work with Sunday School and Wednesday Night Activity needs.  Opportunity to grow as ministry grows until there are Twelve rooms and two areas for informal gathering.
