 FOR GOD'S KINGDOM 

We are experiencing a new season of trust and dependence on God and believe that this will be a time when people come to faith in Jesus and grow deeper spiritually.

 

 FOR OUR COMMUNITY 

We believe that these renovations will allow us to minister more effectively to our community for years to come.

 

 FOR THE NEXT GENERATION 

There is a new generation ready to take its rightful place. We want to lead this church into a better place than when it began. We are creating a legacy of faith and trust for the next generation.

ALL MAIN-FLOOR ENTRANCES ARE NOW FULLY WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE  

Larger doors and push-button access at all main-floor building entrances will ensure legal compliance with the 2025 Ontario Accessibility Action Plan.


AIR CONDITIONING IN EVERGREEN HALL AND CREEKSIDE ROOM

This will create a more comfortable and inviting space for church and community events in the heat of the summer. (Note: Evergreen Hall is the new name for former Fellowship Hall, the Creekside Room is the new name for former Youth Area)


NEW SOUNDPROOFED FLOORING AND CEILING

This ensures that functions can run concurrently in the Evergreen Hall and in the Creekside Room below with no noise or vibration, increasing usage. (Note: Evergreen Hall is the new name for former Fellowship Hall, the Creekside Room is the new name for former Youth Area)


NEW WHITE PINE CAFÉ IN LOBBY

We now have a new café area, fireside lounge, and reduced cloak room to create a more welcoming environment for newcomers and provide a modern and comfortable space for fellowship, discussion, and small groups.


LARGER WINDOWS IN LOBBY, EVERGREEN HALL, AND CREEKSIDE ROOM

This allows for more natural light, provide openness and visibility to our community looking inward, and will constantly remind us that we are called to love and disciple those around us as we look outward. (Note: Evergreen Hall is the new name for former Fellowship Hall, the Creekside Room is the new name for former Youth Area)


SLIDING GLASS DOOR PANELS AT ENTRANCE TO EVERGREEN HALL

The Evergreen Hall (former Fellowship Hall) can remain private for separate meetings and activities, but the entrance can also be opened wider for easier accessibility, increasing the fellowship space in the lobby and accommodating larger numbers.


REMOVAL OF OLD STAGE IN EVERGREEN HALL TO INCREASE STORAGE AND ACCESSIBILITY

With the old stage removed from the Evergreen Hall (former Fellowship Hall) we now have a new hidden storage area for tables, chairs, and equipment. The emergency exit in the Evergreen Hall is also now safer and easier to navigate.


UPGRADED FEATURES IN OUR KITCHEN

We have a new commercial dishwasher for rapid cleaning, a new stove and exhaust area, and quicker and more efficient access to hot water!


SPORTS AND AUDIO/VISUAL UPGRADES IN THE EVERGREEN HALL

This will enable us to show video presentations and improve the audio in the Evergreen Hall (former Fellowship Hall) for meetings and events as well as increasing options for sports activities. This includes a basketball net and painted lines on the flooring for sports usage.

As a result of the 2018 tornado that significantly damaged the church, the Board determined that simply restoring the Evergreen Hall (built 50 years ago) to its pre-tornado condition was not a long-term viable option for our church building. Given that the Evergreen Hall would be under major construction for tornado damage repairs, the Board decided to explore potential renovation options and overdue upgrades to the building, including improvements that will ensure it meets new Ontario accessibility standards.

Following the 2018 tornado, we surveyed the congregation to determine what the needs of the church were, and hired an architect to develop design plans for this project. These architectural designs/depictions are represented in the photos on this page.
