Project Update: Ok, Ashley Ridge Church fam “Milestone Mania” is back! With the Groundbreaking (Milestone #1) under our belt and Clearing & Grubbing complete, the Sitework Contractor is mobilizing equipment & resources on the land as we speak for Milestone #2 to began in earnest (Sitework & Utilities)! And, the drainage pipes are ordered and scheduled to be delivered next week! You know things are really “heating-up” on the land when you see drainage pipes! Yes, it’s time to move dirt!!!
Milestone Mania: There will be seven construction Milestones during the 18 month Construction Period each with a set of financial goals which need to be reached to move to the next. The major Milestones are as follows along with their respective status:
MILESTONE # STATUS
#1 – Groundbreaking Completed
#2 – Sitework & Utilities Ongoing
#3 – Vertical Construction
#4 – Raise the Roof
#5 – Audio, Visual & Lighting (AVL)
#6 – Certificate of Occupancy (CO)
#7 – Move-in & Building Dedication
Financial Report: We have a BIG push this month financially to close the funding gap between what financial resources we have on-hand combined with the Construction Loan, and what we need to complete the project. We are going to close this gap by hitting the Milestone financial goals one at time – a kind of divide & conquer. More about this from Pastor Jenn & James this Sunday!
With the Prayer Service on the land just 2 weeks away, we are asking everyone for their best gift for Milestone #2 – Sitework & Utilities. We will have a Donation Box at the Prayer Service, or you can give Sunday mornings or on-line at anytime.
If you would like to make a contribution to the Building Fund or General Fund or fill-out a new Commitment Card, you can do so on-line via the church website: ashleyridgechurch.org
