Epiphany Expansion Survey
Share your feedback on future building needs and mission priorities for Epiphany Lutheran Church.
This survey is intended to gauge the view of the congregation about Epiphany's current and future areas of growth and mission.
As a congregation, we have had conversations about expanding the school and preschool areas. These ministry/mission areas continue to grow, and leadership has done an outstanding job of utilizing the space we currently have to fulfill their work. However, with the continued interest in Christian education and the steady growth we are seeing, options for classrooms have become restricted. Likewise, other ministries would like a designated space to meet, serve together, and grow in faith together (i.e. meeting rooms, Sanctuary, gym).
While we recognize that our church's current giving is not meeting budgetary needs, we also believe there is a need to keep thinking and moving in a forward direction for the sake of ministry and mission for Christ. This survey is simply to gather information on the direction we should be moving in at some point in the future. Any type of expansion will take time, so gathering some information now about future planning is important.

I was aware that classroom space is in short supply during the week when school and preschool are in session. (Nearly 200 children attend daily.)
I was aware that most of our preschool classes are at capacity and our early elementary grades (K-2) are showing full growth, with a second classroom of both K and 1 now in session.
I have a clear understanding of our mission, our long-term goals, and reasons for seeking expansion opportunities of our building footprint at Epiphany.
