Our church’s $3.1 million renovation project, which is creating accessible, safe and attractive spaces for our next generation and will enhance our role in the local community, is on track, on budget and on schedule!

Construction Highlights

Phase One got underway on June 10 with extensive demolition in the downstairs rooms.  The work over the summer has included a top-to-bottom redo and resizing of the Palmer Room kitchen, a major electrical upgrade, installation of big pieces of a new HVAC system that includes new pipes and heating/cooling equipment in each of the lower-level rooms and the second-level nursery school rooms.

Delran Builders and the church’s construction team have been working together to maintain the work schedule, iron out issues and look ahead to next steps.  

We expect to finish Phase One by mid-October.  This phase encompasses all the rooms on the ground floor of the building except for Muyskens Hall and the adjacent kitchen. Those two large spaces are the focus of Phase Two. We are expecting to finish modernizing those spaces and complete the entire project by December 31.

Project Funding

We are grateful to those who have donated to this ambitious campaign.  Please know that it is not too late to support this project. Unforeseen expenses do arise as we open walls and ceilings in this elegant, old building, and each dollar counts.

A matching grant was awarded to the church in October 2022.  While we await the funds from this $1.54 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) grant, our grant and campaign teams have been working on the necessary paperwork requirements.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the church office.
