Total Pledged: $3,602,550
O God, You have brought us as the people of St. Mark’s to this season of discerning future ministry through a capital campaign: Support us, guide us, and call us, through Your Holy Spirit, to faithfully follow in Your Way; that we may continually offer the gifts of our lives and labors together for the honor and glory of Your Name. Amen.

The Building Committee, formed in March, has divided itself into various subcommittees to carry out its responsibilities. Four of these have spent the last month identifying the requirements for the new Parish Hall that are driven by St. Mark’s missions: supporting our youth, engaging in outreach, enjoying fellowship amongst each other, and supporting our worship. A finance subcommittee is tracking pledge payments (are you making yours?) and an architecture committee is working through the process of identifying an architect that will lead the design of the new building. The engineering and infrastructure subcommittee continues its work in dealing with the county on necessary processes so we can proceed legally when the time comes. Finally, the program subcommittee is coordinating all of this and reporting to the vestry and congregation on a regular basis.
Right now, we are completing an integrated program description capturing our needs and intent that we will first use to select an architect. We hope to have an architect under contract by the end of summer and have the first designs completed by the end of the year. 2024 will be a detailed design and construction planning year, and 2025 should be the year we begin and finish the actual construction. We shall see what we can realistically accomplish. As of now, the vestry has given us a budget of $4 million. Until we have engaged the architect and some contractors, we won’t know how constraining, if at all, that figure might be. Our intent is to continue to brief the congregation every month or so, even if there isn’t much to say in any given month.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us. For the Building Committee, Rich Roca
