From the Leadership Team Updates on our FY ‘18 Goals 1. Portable: John Miller is our Project Manager. He will work with MBV(engineer), IRC & local contractors. We are designing the layout of the building, to include Family/Associate Minister office, large meeting room (Children’s Church and Youth Group), bathroom and storage. The planned location is west of the building in the grass lot. If you have questions, talk with John. 2. Staff: A job description is being finalized and will be posted on job boards at our Bible Colleges. We have already received resumes. We are working on funding from 2-4 large churches. Their contributions, for 3 years, will be inversely proportional to CCC’s contribution. This will allow us to grow that full-time salary into our annual budget. This will be an exciting year for CCC. Pray for both of these goals and for guidance every step of the way. 3. Water: We hope that early in 2018 FCOG will have their site plans and we’ll be able to start construction of our water project.
