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.

Drawing of Current Buildings (first floor)
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.
