The Need
The concrete area just outside of our worship center, ‘the courtyard’, is the hub of Northpark fellowship and friendship. It is probably the most important part of our facility. People gather there after every Sunday service, we have special services, and many events utilize our courtyard as well.
Unfortunately, after 25 years we’ve had to tear down much of the roof structure due to deterioration and safety issues.
The Plan
After considering several options, the Northpark Board has authorized moving forward with replacement of the courtyard covering, signing a contract with Andrew Young Construction.
The new design is a fully covered, 5,000 sq. ft. open wall steel structure that covers virtually the entire concrete patio area and includes:
- No interior pillars (posts along the edges of the structure only)
- Metal roof that matches the rest of our buildings
- Ceiling fans
- Insulation panels on the underside of the ceiling
- Electrical outlets
Our purpose statement is, ‘Building Lives Through Relationships… with God, with each other, and with those who do not yet know Christ’. This new courtyard structure will help us fulfill that purpose. We hope YOU will be part of making it happen!
How YOU Can Help
A project like this costs money, and we will need your financial support to make this happen.
We will need to take out a short term loan, but we have no desire to be in debt. In fact, in 2020 we were able to pay off our building and solar loan and currently have no debt. We are confident that through your generosity we will be able to pay off this loan very quickly.
UPDATE: No loan is necessary due to pledges and donations received!
You can donate online or in person, we would like to raise the needed funds within three years.
Please make a notation on all donations that it is for the COURTYARD.
