Major Opportunity
• SPDTF sees the timing to be great for expanding the FBC
ministry
• The activities in Step 2 & 3 would set FBC for a potential
completion of Phase One in late 2017
• A new campaign can provide financial information by the
middle of 2016
• New facility would provide for a 350 seat meeting area at the
Sonoma property
• An FBC presence would be in the fastest growing area in Las
Cruces
• An office for the new staff position would be located in the
new facility

Missing Information and Possible
Situations
• Major unknown – What’s the
present property worth and is
there a market for it?
• If property sold – What would
be required?
• Expanded Steps 2 & 3 by adding
Phase 2 (Future Build-out in
purple—part or all?)
• Determine additional down
payment impact on loan(s)
• Time frame to build Phase 1 & 2
• Agreement to remain in facilities
until new buildings complete?
• Etc.?

SPDTF Single Recommendation
After careful consideration and study of the
FBC vision for the Sonoma area and SAFE; the
following single recommendation is from the
SPDTF, with endorsements by the Ministry
staff, Finance Committee, Trustees, Long
Range Planning Committee and Sonoma
Property Task Force (typically referred to as
the Amazing Things Committee).
FBC Master Pln 08/16/15
27
Recommendation
1. That the Church adopts the FBC Master Plan as presented tonight and which incorporates the Strategic Assessment for Facility Expansion
prepared by Goff Companies.
2. That the Church authorize the formation of a Sonoma Master Plan Committee for the purposes of overseeing all action steps necessary
for the completion of the Master Plan. This Committee will be comprised as follows: 1) the current SPDTF members, 2) the SPDTF
Engineering Advisor, 3) the current chair of the Properties Committee, and 4) three members designated by the Senior Pastor. Although
not an all-inclusive list, the Master Plan Committee’s authority extends to the following:
Negotiate engagements with Goff Companies and Partners in Church Consulting to assist with the completion of Steps 2 and 3 of the
Phase I development (Initial Build), and a yet to be submitted Step 2 for Phase II (Final Build). Funding will be from the Permanent
Building Fund and/or Capital Campaign not to exceed $800,000 without further Church approval.
• Preliminary design of Phase I construction, $141,000 ($122,566 plus $18,434 reimbursable and contingency expenses)
• Capital Campaign--$51,000 ($44,000 plus $7,000 reimbursable and contingency expenses)
• Final Design (Step 3) of Phase I Construction--$477,000 ($414,714 plus $60,286 reimbursable and contingency expenses
• Preliminary Step 2 Design of Phase II Construction, $131,000 as Campaign contributions allow
3. Obtain a Qualified Market Analysis (at a cost not to exceed $5,000 payable from Undesignated Reserves) on our current FBC Miranda
property and facilities and place our Miranda location on the market for sale.
4. At an appropriate time, obtain letters of interest from lending institutions and investigate financing alternatives for a construction loan in
an amount dependent on the results of the Capital Campaign, but not to exceed $4,500,000.
5. Dissolve the Sonoma Properties Task Force (Amazing Things Committee), Sonoma Property Development Task Force, and Long Range
Planning Committee.
