Church council states that they believe that he FLC space is no longer relevant to the needs of our church.
The council opposes investing in necessary future capital facilities maintenance.
During a recent listening session a member of council stated that the investment income acquired from funds obtained from a potential sale could better serve our membership, staff and mission and would also be used to relocate the memorial gardens and stones to an area at the back of the Bell Street property.
Council published that they have offered the CLC a 10% discount to purchase the FLC property. Council recently confirmed their knowledge that, if the CLC wanted to purchase the property, zoning restrictions would not permit the facility to be operated by the Community Life Collaborative if it is not owned by a church.

In 2020, a congregational vote of 153-26 chose the non-profit 501(3)c Community Life Collaborative (CLC) to manage and leverage the utilization of the once shuttered FLC property.
To their credit, the FLC and the CLC became inexorably joined to create a community hub. FLC community offerings increase relevance for young generations drawn

In 2020, a congregational vote of 153-26 chose the non-profit 501(3)c Community Life Collaborative (CLC) to manage and leverage the utilization of the once shuttered FLC property.
To their credit, the FLC and the CLC became inexorably joined to create a community hub. FLC community offerings increase relevance for young generations drawn to topics of social change while providing the community with connective spaces and touchpoints far beyond the physical capabilities of our Bell Street facility.
The CLC is already self sufficient. A NO vote will not increase costs to the 2024/2025 operating budget.
