Update on March 29, 2012 Minimize
 

The elders continue to work with Sted McCulough (of Stedmann McCollough Architecture Gulf Shores, AL) and Scott Hawkins (our appointed G.C.) about the progress of the building projects. There will be a meeting on Sunday, April 1 to discuss some changes to the layout/design and cosmetic issues that are being resolved. The look of the buildings on the boards will not change much, but we are discussing the possibility of moving the offices around so as to incorporate a full gymnasium in the multi-purpose room.

All the soil samples have been taken. The proper forms and documents have been filed, or are near completion. After we have "jumped through all the hoops" the project will get underway. Therefore, we anticipate, and it is our prayer, for the congregation to see the breaking of ground before Summer!  The project will take several months, so please be patient.

In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding the project, please see the elders. If you would be willing to help in this endeavor using your God-given talents, we will be taking bids for the work. We also encourage you to be considering financial gifts to the GULF SHORES BUILDING FUND to assist with our work. There is also a separate fund set aside for the playground (current total is $2,275).

Thank you for your support and prayers!!! 

  
 
 
Family Meeting on September 25, 2011 Minimize
 

We had another wonderful family meeting on Sunday (9/25/11).  There are no dissenting votes concerning the plans the elders have put before the church.  The family has decided to move ahead with the "new vision" for growth on our current property.  Matt Fetner, church treasurer, has been asked to gather information about loan possibilities.  Sted McCullough, church architect, was given permission to seek project managers and gather additional information so that the project can proceed quickly. 

There was lots of good discussion about the building process, all outlined structures, parking, and renovations to the current facility.  The elders are planning another family meeting in the near future when all of the financial information is gathered.  We anticipate that meeting to be held within 30-60 days. 

Keep praying for this project and for all who are involved.  God is good! 

  
 
 
SUCCESSFUL FAMILY MEETING ON AUGUST 28, 2011 Minimize
 

We had a succesful family meeting on Sunday afternoon (August 28).  The elders unvieled some new plans to build on our current site.   The congregation has been called to a month of prayer and reflection over the plans.   Our church family is urged to spend quality time petitioning God for His will and considering the personal sacrifices it will take to accomplish this new goal.  

The next meeting to vote on the proposal is tentatively set for Sunday, September 25, after morning worship.  In the meantime, the building program envelopes are being made available and prayer sessions will be held each Sunday night at 5:30 PM.  

We enourage you to click the links on the left hand side of this page to see the concepts that have been presented (BOARD #1 and BOARD #2).  Please pray for our commitment to grow the church of Christ that meets at Gulf Shores!  God is good!  All the time!
