HOUSING OUR MINISTRIES

Beach United Church is building a new home to
“house our ministries.” 
This will include removing the south wing of the existing building and significantly redesigning and renovating the north wing, which includes the sanctuary.

Housing Our Ministries (HOMe) is an ambitious project being led by a group of volunteers who are overseeing all aspects: finances, design, selection of an architect and contractor, timelines, and so on.

Who's on the Group?

Karen Watson, Project Manager
Linda Hawke,  Communications Lead  
Leigh Bowser, Ministry, Values & Requirements Lead
Nanci Harris, Design Lead     
Bob Torrance, Property and Construction Lead  
Martin McFarland, Finance Lead
Neil Bailey, Relocation Lead
Abigail Johnson, Clergy support
     

Task groups
Task groups are also helping with many elements of the work. 
For example, many volunteers helped out in the fall and winter of 2009-10 by visiting other churches and buildings that have been renovated.  It was a great opportunity to gather ideas, get involved and get inspired. 

Task groups give members of Beach United Church opportunities to be involved in visioning, planning, and implementing our new building. Each member can be involved as they are able, for shorter or longer periods of time, as well as offering gifts and talents that we know are a rich part of our congregation.
