The Cito United Methodist Church is about to embark on one of its most challenging journeys in its ninety year history. In a special church conference on April 1, 2001, the congregation of the Cito United Methodist Church overwhelmingly approved plans to build a new sanctuary. Plans are to break ground as soon as possible (probably late May or early June). The construction will be divided into two phases: Phase I will be completing the outside shell of the church. It can be described as "when you drive by, it will look like a completed church. But when you open the door, you will find nothing but boards and empty space." Phase I is estimated to cost from $175,000 to $225,000. We don't plan to borrow money to finish this phase. Using the cash we now have on hand, plus the money we raise within the next year will, Lord willing, finish this phase debt-free. The goal is to have this phase completed by year-end 2001.
Phase II will be completing the sanctuary and top level of the building. This includes all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, drywall, and finish carpentry work. This phase is estimated to cost from $200,000 to $225,000, for a TOTAL project cost of $425,000 to $450,000. The Trustees have set a maximum debt for the entire project of $200,000. It is our goal to have the entire project finished by year-end 2002. However, we will progress as funds become available.
We are NOT planning on doing any work to the lower level of the building at this time. We will complete it as we grow into it. We are only building the load-bearing walls and infrastructure on the lower level.
