Q: Why renovate the Sanctuary?
A: We do not want our sanctuary in a state of disrepair; we want to honor the Lord with excellence through our house of worship. We have outdated lighting, sound, and other equipment that needs to be replaced.
Q: What will be changing?
A: We will upgrade the lighting system, audio/video systems, seating, flooring, wall coverings, and stage modifications.
Q: How much will the Renovation Cost?
A: Currently estimate is $4 million.
Q: Who will be doing the work?
A: Multiple companies were interviewed, but Paragon 360 was selected. Visit PARAGON 360
Q: How long will the renovation take to complete?
A: 8 - 10 Months once work begins.
Q: Will we be displaced from the sanctuary during the construction?
A: A minimal amount of displacement should be expected. When we know these dates for certain, we will communicate a plan.
Q: If we are displaced from the sanctuary, will we still meet on Sunday for Worship?
A: Yes, worship will likely be moved to Fellowship Hall.
Q: How can I give to the renovation?
A: You can give above the tithe online, by check, cash, or text. Mark your gift to “Building Fund.”
Q: Will we need to borrow money?
A: Yes, with a vote from the Church (January 14 at 5:00 PM in the Worship Center), EFBC will borrow necessary funds to complete the project.
Q: How will we pay the debt?
A: The debt payments will be made with your gifts to “Building Fund”, this will be outside our operating budget.
Q: How long will it take to pay off the debt?
A: If we give sacrificially, we believe we can pay the debt inside of five years.
Q: Will other church activities be impacted by the renovation?
A: It is possible, but we believe most activities taking place outside the sanctuary should have little to no disruption.
Q: Who will be making decisions on the details of the renovation?
A: Church staff leadership will be making these decisions, while corresponding with the properties and stewardship committees.
Q: What if I disagree with the project or a portion of the project?
A: We recognize in the life of the church that we may have varying opinions or see things differently, and this is healthy. However, we hope that as a member who “belongs” to EFBC you will support church leadership as they make difficult decisions and lead us to serve the Lord with excellence now and in the future.
