The Facilities Ministry Team oversees the maintenance and repair of the physical buildings and grounds of Oakville Presbyterian Church. The ministry team welcomes participation by members with knowledge or expertise in building and grounds management and maintenance. Volunteers are also recruited on a seasonal basis for the fall and spring clean-up.
In 2003 we launched a building campaign consisting of three phases. The congregation voted to not begin each phase until at least 90% of the cost to complete the phase was either in the bank or pledged.
Phase One was completed in 2005 which doubled the size of the Fellowship Hall, and created new office space and a “Living Room” below the addition, for youth and other groups to gather.
Phase Two was completed in 2006 by expanding and renovating the interior of the sanctuary.
We are extremely grateful to all those who have given so generously to make these plans a reality. We are enjoying the expanded and renovated space.
At a Congregational meeting held on April 11, 2010 the congregation voted to split Phase III into two phases. The first of these phases will begin late April/early May 2010. This will involve adding office space to the south of the Fellowship Hall, and putting in bathrooms where the current office is. (We have 100% of the funds to complete this phase.)
The final phase will involve removing the bathrooms by the kitchen and expand the kitchen significantly and will include commercial style appliances. We will begin this phase when we have over 90% of the funds needed for completion.
If you would like to help us in this endeavor, you can make a donation and/or pledge to the Building Fund. You can contact the church for details.
