Thank you to all who participated in Bethel's recent Facility Task Force survey!  We had a total of 334 responses.  93% of respondents believe that additional youth education space is needed and 65% say they will financially support that project.  87% of respondents believe it is necessary to expand the Highlands sanctuary & hospitality space and 70% indicate they will financially contribute to that effort.  However, while 57% of respondents indicate that the facility plan should include a new traditional sanctuary at Highlands, only 38% have expressed financial support for that portion of the project.  

Since you have indicated strong support for the educational and Highlands worship/hospitality expansions, we will take your responses to the Church Council for their review, with a goal of bringing a proposal for the Congregation to vote on.  However, the proposal will not request funding for a new traditional sanctuary at Highlands.

We thank all of you that provided input to the survey!  We want to assure everyone that we are working to do what is best for all our current and future members.

Blessings, 

The Bethel Facilities Task Force
