Check out our building’s changes since the 2009 remodel, from beginning to end.
Auditorium/other areas of remodel:
New storage rooms at the back of the auditorium, along with new windows above the entry doors
|
The auditorium cleared, and scaffolding up in preparation for the new pillars |
Seat cushions stacked against the walls. Much volunteer labor went into disassembly and removal.
|
Work in the main lobby. No matter how messy, everything was always cleaned up for services. |
Work in progress in the committee room

Finished Board room. No more corrugated walls!

Building Progress – Sunday School area

Step 3: Finished foyer with a more open |
Removing the old Sunday School classroom dividers and prepping for the new ones |

Auditorium Progress:
Summer: with scaffolding and equipment on a sunny afternoon. |
Detail of the columns that will enclose the new smaller seating space |
Moving into October, the auditorium has become a busy workshop as woodwork, windows and the new podium area take shape. |
The new platform area will extend forward of the old platform and bring the Readers closer to the congregation. |
The old window framework being removed |
Chris Page removes the nails from an old section of window framing. |
The first new window frame in place and boarded up until the glass arrives. $80,000 in donations from other CS churches will cover the expense of window replacement. |
In the meantime, services continue cozily in the foyer. |
