WORSHIP CENTER REPAIRS
Join us in building a stronger community by supporting Brookside Church today!
ROOF
After 30 years of use, the sheeting has developed significant gaps due to the freezing and thawing that occurred earlier this year in late fall. To address this issue, we're partnering with our neighbors at Graber Roofing to replace the roll shingles, repair the roof decking, and install a durable metal roof for the worship center. This project is set to begin in late June, and we're counting on your support to help us make it happen.
SCREENS
As you may have noticed, we have been missing the left screen for a while now due to multiple power shortages/surges over the years. Unfortunately, our left projector recently experienced a catastrophic failure that cannot be fixed. But, we're not going to let this dampen our spirits. We are committed to providing the best worship experience for everyone and have decided to upgrade our screens with the latest technology. We would be honored if you could join us in making this upgrade a reality as soon as possible.
EXTERIOR WALL
As our building approaches its sixtieth anniversary, some parts of its structure are beginning to exhibit signs of settling and separation. As a result, certain below-grade exterior walls show wear and tear indications, necessitating their replacement. We have partnered with a company that specializes in wall replacement and brick repair, and work on this project is slated to begin this week. Keep an eye out for the improvements that will soon be underway.
FAQ
I HAVE A QUESTION!
Our team would love to answer your questions; please take a moment and fill out this contact form.
HOW MUCH WILL THIS COST?
In order to complete all the projects listed above, it is going cost $200,000.00
WHY NOT PROJECTORS?
This was the topic of our most recent Staff and Elder meeting, and the team discussed the pros and cons of using Projectors vs. Module LED Panels. The cost of projector replacement is substantial, and as screen technology keeps changing, LED screens are the future; LED panels offer repairability, flexibility, and an overall superior viewing experience. With that knowledge, we see value in investing in an LED screen for Brookside Church.
WHEN WILL THE SCREENS BE FIXED?
With the many repairs needed throughout our facility, we desire to be good stewards of the resources God had entrusted us. We have committed to waiting on the Lord to provide the necessary funds to repair our screens. That said, we will repair the screens as soon as possible.
