Mr. Stube stressed the need to fill the requirements of the Standing Committee (hand out) next earliest available presentation would be August, 2009.

Key points of focus:

  • Presentation should be basically – one page per topic, well laid out according to hand out
  • Major capital project campaigning needed with target to show commitment to $750k (more members up to 140 or more capital commitment from current)
  • Keep Operating Budget and Capital separate
  • Clarify vision (spread the word of Christ) and mission (building to facilitate vision)
  • Two members should present documents in total at one time to Mr. Stube so he can present to the other standing committee members to obtain support and SC approval
  • Long range plan for full time clergy needed
  • Priority hires: Priest, Musician, Administrative Assistant, 2nd priest
  • Be creative, show examples of creativeness in ministries, campaigning, and funding efforts – attract youth and energy for future growth
  • Focus was on presentation format along with additional supporting documents
