St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Fayetteville, Arkansas
Our Parish Long Range Planning Conversation

Our Long Range Planning Committee is now meeting each second Wednesday of the month at noon.
All meetings are open to St. Paul's members.
 
Our Vestry has asked the congregation to participate in a Long Range Planning process to address our growth-related needs.
 
Our trends show that we are running out of space at our Sunday 8:45 and 11:00 services.  
We have several other programs that are stretched for space.
What should we do?
 
This page will have links about our ongoing conversation and be a place to post information about our planning process.
 
You may send an email to the Vestry by writing vestry@stpaulsfay.org
 

Notes from Long Range Planning Committee Meeting, December 2011

Drawing of Current Buildings Second Floor

 
 
Below are links to some preliminary drawings that are some early concepts from our discussion with the Long Range Planning Committee. 

We’ve been taking suggestions from staff, program leaders, and the committee since these have been drawn.  We’ve had a lot of constructive input.  I’m sure these plans will change significantly as we talk further.  We also haven’t priced anything.  We continue to imagine other possibilities.  NOTHING is decided, or even preliminarily decided. 

The committee has been looking at ideas that would do two things:  (1) expand the worship space by moving the chancel (choir) behind the altar in a space that would add to the church building toward the east; (also under consideration -- wider transcepts); and (2) replace the area now bounded by the east side of the Garth (from Charlie's office through the old bathrooms) and by the current youth center, and build a 3 or four floor program space. 

 We've got a couple of initial renderings from architects Bob Kelly and Stacey & Bret Park.  These drawings are places to begin conversation.  They are linked below.
