Join The Property Committee: Parishioners With Experience And Knowledge Needed For Upcoming Projects

With a long list of projects either underway or pending approval, the Christ the King Property Committee is reaching out for additional members who can bring their professional trades skills and experience to the ministry.

“These new members will bring a new set of eyes and share the load with others," says Joe, Christ the King Facilities Manager. “We are looking for members with experience in plumbing, electrical, architectural and construction management, or construction engineering. They will be doing mostly advisory work and consultant tasks.”

The committee advises the Rector and facility management staff on infrastructure needs, ongoing and preventive maintenance projects, landscaping, and the physical space in both the parish and school. This committee works closely with the Stewardship Council and Finance Committee.

The Property Committee also is looking for someone to take minutes and serve as the recorder for the meetings. Currently, the group is meeting on the Zoom videoconference platform, but the sessions are held at 6:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of the month. When in-person meetings are established, the group most likely will meet in the conference room at O’Neill Center.

Taking part in the Property Committee is an ideal way to live out stewardship as part of our faith community.

“I think bringing in your skills and participating in the meetings is acting in stewardship,” Joe says. “Helping with bidding projects, gathering quotes, and adding professional support is working in stewardship so we don’t go off track. It’s a giving of your time and talent.”

Some of the proposed projects that are in planning include geothermal documentation; CMG insurance claim for the bell tower; Baptismal renovation; School front entrance, Church lighting system; Church interior columns and ceiling renovation; Hall renovation; Re-pointing, Parapet Capping.

School projects currently in the planning stages include front offices and entrance, office renovations to classrooms, and fire and security system upgrades.
