Building Feasibility Study Group
The FUUSE Board’s charge to the BFSG is exploration of the options for physical space to support our growing community. The first goal is to formulate a plan for spatial requirements based on need: current and projected numbers, activities, ministries, and future goals. The BFSG will gather this information by talking with the staff and using the SPG information gathered during our “Envisioning the Future” process. This plan will be a tool to help us determine our best course of action. The congregation will be kept informed through every step of the process, and the plan will be presented and approved by both the Board and the congregation before proceeding.
Debbie Merrick will serve as Chair. Members are: Kathy Bloomberg, David Michelsen, Brian Miskinis, Paul Robinson, and Drew Sunstein.
Strategic Planning
Planning Our Future
All church meeting, May 18, after the second service
Light lunch and good discussions
The FUUSE Strategic Planning Group (SPG) has been working with the Board to come up with a visioning plan in 2008. The idea, presented to the group by Jan Williams, focuses on the concept of having the whole congregation participate in planning the future for our church to complete the final piece to our mission.
Work on the strategic planning effort is roughly divided into three phases — The first two rely heavily upon your input!
Information Gathering — [completed]
In Phase 1, gathering information: Surveys have been collected and are in the process of being tabulated.
Visioning — [completed]
Phase 2, the visioning part, will consisted of a well-attended workshop on February 15th & 16th. Jan Williams, a FUUSE friend and strategic/organizational planning consultant by profession, facilitated this "Envisioning our Future" event.
Planning — [completed]
Phase 3, the planning part will culminate with a draft plan for our future to be produced by the SPG and consisting of a synthesis of what we learn in the first two phases.
As you can see, our “Plan for the Plan” relies heavily on active participation by the FUUSE Congregation — as it must! You may download the final report from the sidebar at the right.
