CAMPUS PLANNING TASK FORCE

The Campus Planning Task Force (CPTF)  was established by the Congregation Council at their March 2023 meeting.

The purpose of the CPTF is to examine the following questions:

Phase One: What needs to be done with our current interim tiny settlement to satisfy the compliance issues raised by the city of Roseville?

Phase Two: Does a permanent tiny home settlement fit our vision of how our land and facilities are best used to fulfill our mission to build the church and love the world?

Phase Three: What is our long-range vision for how our campus should be used?  What ministries will be our main focus and how should our campus be developed to support those ministries?
