It all started when

We have been talking about renovating and updating our building for awhile. On August 22, 2017 we had an initial meeting with the Disciples Church Extension Fund representative. This gave us an idea of what funding might be available to us and our options would be.

Community is our focus

Realizing that we do so much with the community that our building renovation should be oriented towards where we are making an impact. In the spring of 2018 we hosted a Series of Listening Sessions with the following groups and their representatives:

• The SHCC Board

• The South Hills Neighborhood Association

• The SHCC Youth

• Room In the Inn Volunteers

• Green Chalice

• Christian Women’s Fellowship

• The SHCC Choir

• SHCC Sunday School Classes

The Campaign Task Force

With the vision and input of our community groups and partners the Campaign Task Force conducted workshops with the Architecture Firm Hahnfeld, Hoffer, Stanford to refine plans, goals, scopes, and budget estimates between the summer of 2018 and today.

Campaign Co-Chairs:

• Sanna Lilburn

• Tim Fancher

Who benefits?

• With expanded and improved space there will be more room for South Hills Christian Church functions and organizations and will give us more welcoming spaces for guests

• Expanded and improved space for the neighborhood association, functions, and community needs
