Vision Sunday - Where Will We Be in 2 Years?

In September of 2003, Colonial Heights Baptist purchased 38 acres. You should have a good feel for where that is. In January of 2004 we elected as a church to move to this location. In April of 2004 we put together a 20-member project team that would guide our church family through the process of selling the old building, erecting a new one and moving. To prepare us, I took the Project Team on a vision tour. I wanted them to see large church campuses and be able to ask questions of those churches about what to expect and what challenges we might face. We visited churches in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. Something we all learned on that trip was before we even pulled onto the church property we could tell if they had a master plan or not. That lesson became so big it changed our direction. We came back and instead of launching into building, we launched into a master planning. It changed our calendar and guided our choice of architects because they had to offer master planning services. That master plan was a big part of 2004/05, but we really have not looked at it as a church family since then. But, we do have a plan to develop our entire property.
