Abstract

The main goal of the project was to purchase land for a new church. Problems included finding a suitable location on a property large enough to accommodate building needs and programmatic endeavors, and addressing factors such as shape and size. The location of the present church was a factor in selecting a site. After finding the location, financing had to be secured. Three groups made the decisions: 1) the Information Committee which collected and analyzed the preferences, addresses and location preferences of the congregation; 2) the Land Search Committee which looked for the land and compiled data on each site; 3) the Trustee Board which advised and had to approve before a land offer could be submitted to the congregation for final approval. Finally, the land had to be rezoned before it could be used for a church building. After approximately ten months of methodical work, the Christian Community Church purchased 1.5 acres of land in Toledo, Ohio. The pastor was selected as the designer and overall chairman of the project. Financial and zoning problems were solved through negotiation and compromise.
