Frequently Asked Questions

What are we being led to do?

The leadership of Cool Spring Baptist Church has been led to do four things. The church will be adding a new Children’s Building, enlarging and remodeling space for our Middle School, High School and College-aged students, re-working space for adult classes and reducing the existing debt.

When will these projects begin?

The design work for the building projects is currently being
finished. Work should begin on the expanded areas for the Middle School, High School and College-aged students in January, 2008. Ground-breaking for the Children’s Building should begin in the late summer or early fall of 2008. The work on renovated areas for adult classes will begin once the Children’s Building has been completed. Reduction of existing church debt has been ongoing and will continue through the building phases mentioned above.

Why are we using an outside stewardship consulting firm? Who are they?

We have contracted with an outside firm in order to utilize
their expertise and proven track record. The Christ-centered
organization of INJOY Stewardship Services (ISS) provides a comprehensive plan with proven results. In addition, their reputation as a partner dedicated to keeping God first provides the accountability required to meet the ambitious goals of this campaign. To learn more about ISS, call one of the campaign directors or visit the ISS website at www.injoystewardship.com.

How will the church body be kept informed of developments?

We will receive updates from the pulpit, the Courier, church website, bulletins, brochures and newsletters.

What will the new building and the renovations to existing structures cost?

It is estimated that the total cost for the building projects will be between $4 -$5 million. The balance of existing debt is approximately $2.8 million, so the total for “Growing Together – Building in Faith” will be between $7 - $8 million (as of August, 2007).
