Construction has begun!
In 2003 we launched a building campaign consisting of three phases. 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 new addition. Phase Two was completed in 2006 by expanding and renovating the interior of the sanctuary.
On April 11, 2010 the congregation voted to proceed with the first part of Phase Three. This current construction project involves adding 26 feet to the south of the current kitchen and bathrooms and putting in a church office, a classroom, and a pastor’s office. The current office space between the Sanctuary and the Fellowship
Hall will be converted into bathrooms.
The final building project will involve removing the old bathrooms and greatly expanding the kitchen. This will take place once the funds are raised to cover the costs. (The church is committed to not going in debt. Each building phase has been started when over 90% of the funds are in hand or pledged).
We are extremely grateful to all those who have given so generously to improve and expand our facilities. We look forward to the expansion of the kitchen. It has been a challenge serving large groups of people, such as the Senior Luncheon, and large receptions. If you would like to help make this final project a reality, you can make a donation to the Building Fund.
The motivation behind all of these building projects is not only to be more welcoming and accommodate more people, but also to build on what I see as the top gifts of Oakville Church: Community and hospitality. The church is like an extended family. However, the extra benefit of a church family is that you not only grow in relationships with others, but also in your relationship with God. If you are not regularly involved in a church family I invite you to join us any Sunday or for a special event. All are welcome!
