“We are deeply grateful for gifts that paid off the debt on our Life Center, Student Center, etc. But we still have a ways to go on our GENERATIONS Campaign to pay for the renovations that gave us our wonderful new Children’s Area and beautiful new music suite. Let’s finish these last several months strong. Thank you for …
Phase II construction continues in several parts of the building. The contractors have completed framing and rough-in of electrical and plumbing in the area near room 251. Drywall has been installed, and tile installation for the new restrooms is underway. This part of the project, which will be completed in November, will provide a men’s …
The project is moving into the final stretch for Phase I, and good progress continues in all areas of the building. A combination of weather and other factors has caused the schedule to fall a little behind for the outside work, but the inside work is farther ahead. As a result, you can anticipate a “three-step” opening …

The project continues to remain on schedule, and much progress has been made in the last few weeks. The elevator framing has been completed, the roof opening over the shaft is covered, and the car assembly will be installed next. We are hopeful that the new elevator will be approved for our use by the …
Excellent progress was made in several key areas during the scheduled “shutdown week”. The main electrical transformer was relocated, and the new electrical switchgear was installed inside the building and placed into operation. The contractors were able to install all but one of the new breaker panels required for Phase I. The remaining panel, which …
The project continues to move along well with activity occurring in several places around our campus. The new electrical equipment required by the city is scheduled to arrive later this month, and the transformer relocation will take place the week of December 7th. The building will be without electricity that week, so the church will be closed …
The contractors continue to make great progress. Because of the delay in moving our electrical transformer, their work has shifted to the areas inside the building. Demolition activity for the new elevator is continuing. That work includes excavating a “pit” on the first floor which will have concrete footings to support the weight of the …
Construction is well underway! Demolition activity is taking place where the new elevator, WEE office suite and nursery area will be located. Plumbing, duct work and electrical conduit in the path of the elevator is being relocated. Some of the heaviest concrete demolition for the elevator shaft will be done in the evenings to better …
If you have been on the church campus in the last week or so, you have seen the beginnings of construction! A section of the east parking lot has been fenced off as a lay down lot for JohnsonKreis, our construction contractor. This will be used as a staging area for all the construction material …
The rebid process has been completed, and the total project cost is now just under $7.5M. That figure includes a $100k contingency, all the costs incurred in relocating the fitness room and library, and the cost of new furnishings, audio/video/lighting equipment and other items that FBC will supply. The new men’s restroom and family restroom …
Thank you to all involved with FBC’s first ever “virtual” groundbreaking ceremony! The event was a lot of fun, and it provided a great launch for the project. The ceremony can be viewed at https://fbcgenerations.org/progress. The asbestos abatement company has begun removing the old carpet and asbestos flooring from the area involved in the Phase …
