Master Ministry Needs List - Work in Progress
The Ministry Continuity Team has prepared a compilation of updated ministry facility needs. This list is based on last year's ministry marathon and has been updated to reflect recent discussions with ministry leaders and staff. The design team will be comparing this list with the work down during the feasability phase to see if there are any gaps and identify final space requirements prior to the design workshops. Any new spaces outside the current team mandate will be flagged and submitted to the SC for future consideration.
You can click on the image below to get a copy of the latest list. It is very detailed and has not been mapped to the reflect any overlap or shared spaces. It is "raw" information. The AKB teams will do their best with the help of the upcoming congregational design workshops to address as many of the needs as possible based on what we can afford and what will advance the Kingdom of God in the City of Hamilton.
