For more than 150 years, our church has been a place where people encounter God’s grace, form friendships, and serve the wider community.
Generations before us built and cared for this sacred space so that faith could flourish here.
Now it is our turn to renew it.
The River of Grace Among Us
In 1874 a group of faithful Methodists built this church not just for themselves, but for the generations who would follow.
For more than 150 years this building has carried the life of our congregation: worship and prayer, service projects and mission work, quiet reflection and joyful gatherings.
It has been used so faithfully that today the building itself is beginning to show its age. Hidden beneath the floors and behind the walls, portions of the original limestone foundation are deteriorating and must be repaired to ensure the building remains safe and usable for the future.
The FLOW campaign is our opportunity to care for this historic space so the ministries it supports can continue long into the future.
Our Vision
Why Now?
Caring for What We Have Been Given
This project is not about expansion or extravagance.
It is about faithful stewardship.
By addressing structural needs now we can:
- Replace the failing garden-level foundation
- Strengthen the structure beneath Fellowship Hall
- Improve accessibility throughout the historic building
- Update electrical systems and infrastructure
- Renew spaces used for hospitality, community life and ministry.
Renewed Spaces for Ministry
The renovation focuses on two important gathering spaces.
Fellowship Hall
Updates will include:
- Removal of underused balcony seating
- Improved coffee bar and hospitality space
- A small stage for presentations and music
- Updated lighting, flooring, A/V, and acoustic treatment.
- These changes create a more flexible and welcoming space for church and community events.
Garden Level
A flexible multipurpose space that can serve:
- Sunday School and small groups
- Community partners and outreach ministries
- Meetings, classes, and gatherings
- Chapel or quiet prayer space
- The design includes accessible restrooms, storage, and a serving counter for hospitality.
Estimated Timeline
- May 2026 – demolition and construction begin
- Summer–Fall 2026 – renovation underway
- Early 2027 – project completion
