Core Plan

  • Our historic building also has a historic heating system that occasionally takes a few winter Sundays off.
  • The whole building does a rather poor job of keeping all the heat inside.
  • Core Plan focuses on greening our building and systems.
  • The goal is to reduce our maintenance costs, lower our energy bills, and becoming leaders by significantly reduce our carbon footprint.

Welcoming Plan

  • Includes all of the energy-focused improvements in the core plan and reenvisions the way we enter the building.
  • Think back to the first time you visited. Did you know which door to enter? Have you struggled to navigate your way in with a walker or a wheelchair?
  • Finally, does the back of the sanctuary get a bit jammed up at the start and end of service?
  • This plan addresses all of those issues and finally makes our building as welcoming as the people inside.

Visionary Plan

  •  Incorporates the Core and Welcoming plans  and takes another step forward
  • It adds a beautiful, skylit connector between the sanctuary and the Parish House.
    • This new connector accomplishes a couple of important goals.
    • The connector will allow us to move from one end of the church to the other without passing through the sanctuary.
    • it would resolve a long running issue of drainage in that area.
  • The Visionary plan reimagines the front of the sanctuary into a space that’s fully accessible by folks of all abilities and configurable for a multitude of uses, all while preserving the look and feel of our traditional, New England sanctuary.
  • Who knows what magic we might create given a little space to spread our wings?
