Maintaining the church building is a never-ending job. While achieving our Capital Campaign goal is necessary to secure funds for significant updates and repairs, work on the church is always on-going. Staff has been offsetting capital expense continually by running an efficient operation with excellent results.
Bob Shaw and Sten Gustavson deserve our thanks for the work they do to maintain our church.
