 Pledge Update – Decemer 2008:

The campaign has been blessed with $5.9 million in pledges to date. That means we are 59% of the way to our $10 million goal.

We praise God and thank the congregation for this remarkable outpouring of support as we seek to prepare Park Street Church for the next century of service.

Phase I – 2007 projects completed:

The replacement of the two elevators in One Park Street has been completed, and the exterior work including a new slate roof and the masonry restoration work on the Sanctuary building was completed just before this past Christmas.


Phase II – 2008 projects completed:

Phase II construction was completed on Christmas Eve. Access and use of the sanctuary building was improved by installing a new elevator which serves the three main floors, the first floor Level was improved by creating a new welcome center, and restroom facilities adjacent to the welcome center were expanded. There also were numerous accessibility improvements in addition to a new elevator, including wheelchair seating in the Sanctuary and improved life safety systems. All of these renovations were done while retaining the historic character and integrity of the facility

 

The Capital Campaign Vision:

The following preliminary plan was established in 2006, based on giving of $10 million, and through information sessions, focus groups, individial converstations and cottage meetings.  To date, only the 2007 projects have been formally approved by the congregation.
