Preparing for the Future

• Our church buildings form an essential foundation
  and setting for our Ministry, but the bricks and
  mortar have deteriorated from the passage of
  time.
• It is our responsibility to do what is needed to
  sustain them for years to come.

Facilities and Sustainability Program

• As good stewards of Gods creation, CHPC will
  thoroughly evaluate our facilities, including the
  Manse, and our programs to make them truly
  sustainable for generations to come.
• Church members and professional experts will
  identify issues that require immediate,
  short-term, and long-term attention, so they can
  be resolved appropriately.

Capital Campaign

• CHPC does not currently have the financial
  structure or resources sufficient to support our
  shared ministry life over the long run.
• The Riston bequest enabled the major repair of
  the front brick face of the church.
• We will seek commitments to not only address
  todays needs but also to build a more permanent
  foundation to support the next 150 years.
