2. History of this Project
Vision planning process
Nov 2014 Vision 2020 launched – 125 Anniversary
Teams have been meeting to develop plans to accomplish Vision
Two particular teams had facility needs in their key targets – these focused on the worship center and the worship center entrance area (lobbies, coatroom, hall, library)
Worship & Word, Assimilation -> Property Utilization Committee
Jan 2016 $36,000 in 2016 budget for consultation and plans from Clair Solutions (sound and media equipment) and Mann Hughes (architect)
Mid Teams worked for Clair Solutions , Mann Hughes and Miller Miller & McLachlan for cost estimates
What key targets do the Elders believe the Lord wants CCBFC to hit by 2020?

3. Vision 2020 Key Targets established by the Elders
Gathering & Going Targets
Progress in the sound, look, and feel of the 2nd service towards a more energetic, upbeat, expressive, and authentic contemporary worship style in order to speak to the Contemporary segment of our culture
Speak to the Traditional segment of our culture in the 1st service by blending traditional music with newer hymns and praise songs
Provide an on-staff 2nd Service Worship Leader - also on College Committee report (Staffing or Hire)
Upgrade sound system and make architectural changes to worship Center for improved sound (Facility)

4. Vision 2020 Key Targets established by the Elders
Caring (Welcoming / Assimilation) Targets
Improve physical appearance and signage for good first impression (Facility)
Improve web appearance for a good first impression
Recruit and use more and younger greeters for a warm welcome - Also on College Committee results
Create a comfortable reception and hang out area for new people and church family (Facility).
As teams met to make recommendations on these goals, we learned some things…

5. What we learned
Sound system: not designed for contemporary music; 23 yr. old electronics.
Ceiling lights: – outdated; close to obsolete.
Lights for the speakers face: –shadows and dark spots; incorrect angle (20° vs. 45°); too far away.
Lighting control system: – 23 yr. old electronics, some failures starting to occur.
The cross & front of church – the cross is covered with a screen during much of the worship time.
Baptismal – leaking; pump is obsolete; baptisms are far away and dimly lit.
Sound system - has aged and is now in poor condition. Not designed for contemporary music
Lights - High energy, incandescent. There is only one company who makes replacement bulbs. Replacing them is a difficult due to the height.
Lighting system – for ceiling and platform lights. they have gone out of control several times in last two years.
Platform lights - have incorrect angle and “throw”. Lights above platform are behind the front of the stage.
Cross – compromise between old school non projector people and projector people. it’s the one from the old chapel.

6. What we learned
Platform: undersized for holding a contemporary band, choir chairs, organ, and grand piano.
Carpet: 23years old; near end of life.
Ceiling: must be accessed from below (must remove pews).
Informal meeting areas: needed for welcoming newcomers and fellowship.
Windows and entry doors: some are leaking
At 23 years old, the Worship Center is aging and needs some repairs
What did the teams recommend and the Elders approve as goals?
Sound system - has aged and is now in poor condition. Not designed for contemporary music
Lights - There is only one company who makes replacement bulbs. Replacing them is a difficult due to the height.
Ligting system – they have gone out of control several times in last two years.

7. Recommendations Worship Center – Meeting Area (Sanctuary)
Simplify and update the rear platform wall
Create a more modern stone and wood center area behind platform with Cross as a focal point
Remove canopies above wall recesses at organ speaker openings
Remove baptismal and use portable baptistery that can be closer to the congregation
Video screens on left and right sides so The Cross is visible during worship
Extend Platform and remove most of the steps (only two sets on left and right sides of platform)
New Flooring: Carpet in aisles and tile under pews
