What Is the Campaign’s Purpose?
Your donations will be used to fund the now-completed Phase II construction of the six-year project designed to make the St. Pauls Church building accessible in all public spaces. This included the installation of a five-stop elevator, as well as construction of a welcoming, open-air courtyard plaza containing a north end access ramp to the spacious new entry lobby and elevator. Phase I, completed in 2020 during the COVID shutdown and paid for in full with early campaign pledges, created an accessible, all-gender washroom suite, a new access ramp to the chancel, new sanctuary side lobby, and completely upgraded electrical panel and power capacity.

Video Slideshows of the Construction Process
Our St. Pauls building project was dedicated on November 9th and celebrated with brats and beer in the gym. Those of us on the Building
Committee kept weekly pictures to record the progress of the work
inside the building and out in the courtyard. We made two slideshows
recently from those pictures that we are happy to share with you. We
thank the Bulley & Andrews crew and all the men & women in the work
crews, who cheerfully stopped their tasks to allow us to take the
photographs.
