Fire Recovery & Reconstruction Progress: In-Person Tour This Sunday...
After months of meticulous cleaning by Belfor's dedicated team, the Worship Center is ready for reconstruction work to begin. That work will include restoration of building infrastructure such as HVAC, electrical and audio/video/lighting systems, as well as reinstallation of drywall and ceilings. Given this momentary pause in the work as Belfor transitions from cleaning to construction, we have an opportunity for members of our congregation to tour the Worship Center in its current condition, to observe the magnitude of the recovery work, and to get a sense of what is to come as we anticipate moving back to this space in the Spring of 2027.
This coming Sunday, November 15th, members of the FAC Fire Recovery Planning Team (FRPT) will host tours of the Worship Center immediately following both worship services. Ken DiCamillo, Belfor's Project Manager, will join us to provide overall context, and members of the FRPT will be stationed throughout the building to provide insight regarding restoration plans.
Those interested in touring the building should enter through the doors under the canopy on the south side of the Worship Center. A team member will be there to greet you and provide guidance as to the tour route and safety precautions. There will be no work in progress, but the building is a construction site, and everyone must be aware of potential tripping hazards. Families with children are responsible to ensure that children do not wander away from their group or the defined route of travel - no climbing of scaffolding or other elements of the building is permitted.
We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to witness God's work in restoration of this building as a facility to support worship, ministry and outreach to our community.
