Rooted and Built:
2026 Building Campaign
For the last year, we have been working behind the scenes to dream about the potential for our downtown campus, especially our education building. As the building approaches its 103rd year, it is obvious it has been well-loved but is now showing signs of wear. As a matter of fact, the amount of money being poured into deferred maintenance is too large to ignore.
With the help of architects, builders, and engineers, we pulled together an ad hoc team to help discern and discover what could be done. I am excited to say, we now have something to show you.
We believe the most important next step in our church’s mission is to rebuild the education building. This decision did not come lightly. It has been prayed over, discerned, and vetted. But before we can move forward on an official master plan, we need to now ask, “At what capacity can we afford to build?” In other words, “How much can we raise?”
To answer this question, we have launched a church-wide capacity study asking you to prayerfully consider at what capacity you can support such an endeavor over a three-year financial commitment.
Capacity Study Survey & Information
You can learn more about the vision and plans by viewing the campaign booklet below, watching our capacity study video on our YouTube channel (above), and then completing the survey by clicking the button below. If you and your spouse both received our initial church email, you only need to fill out the survey once. You are submitting a response as a family unit. We would love for 100% participation from each family at First Baptist. If you have previously completed this survey, there is no need to submit it a second time.
Your input will significantly help guide our next steps and ensure our plans reflect the dreams, hopes, and needs of our congregation.
Thank you for your faithful partnership in the life and future of our church.
Rev. Barrett Owen
