Our main lobby has served CCC well for a long time. Today, many elements need replacing and updating to create an inviting renewed space for our ministries, gatherings, and events. The renovations will create innovative, beautiful gathering spaces that reflect the relational, inspirational, and invitational values of CCC and will help our facility to be a place for our mission (to love our community and invite everyone to experience Jesus together) to flourish.

The total estimated cost of the renovation is 1.9 million dollars. This includes demolition of the existing space(s) and MEP (mechanical/electrical/plumbing) construction costs along with audio/visual/networking upgrades and furnishings.

There are five (5) ways through which we plan to finance the cost of the renovation: 1. Pledges/Commitments from our church family as part of our Renew Together campaign 2. Sale of Church-owned Assets (the property next door at 1120 Phoenixville Pike, estimated proceeds of $350,000+) 3. Advance designated giving from private donors and the balance of CCC's renovation fund 4. Non-designated giving surplus & cash reserve as it is and becomes available 5. A construction loan of up to 1.5M as needed to help manage cash flow of the renovation

We anticipate the final design phase will be completed in mid-October, followed by several months where our builder will secure construction materials and necessary permits. We expect that construction will most likely begin in the winter of 2025 and be completed before CCC’s 2025 summer camps.

D2 Group (d2groups.com) is handling the design of the renovation and Worthington Davis Associates (worthingtondavisassociates.com) is the builder. They were chosen because their work is exceptional, and we have an established and healthy relationship with Worthington Davis from past CCC projects (our parking lot and the 2nd floor KidzROCK worship expansion). They are already very familiar with our facility infrastructure and needs. D2 Group and Worthington Davis have also worked together on other projects and have a good working relationship.

We anticipate minimal disruption to Sunday services as we can meet in the Main Auditorium without the Main Lobby area(s) during construction. Similarly, we have the available space to relocate ministry activities to classrooms and/or the Main Auditorium, Chapel and HUB during construction.

The next-door property at 1120 Phoenixville PIke was purchased for CCC in 1996 for $112,800. In the intervening 28 years it has been largely unoccupied, and occasionally used as a short-term residence for staff and missions partners. It is now worth 3 to 4 times this initial investment. Our Lead Pastor, Executive Team and Council of Elders have decided that the sale of this asset and reinvestment toward the renovation of our facility both serves the ministry and vision of our church and is good stewardship of the resources that God has provided.

The Renew Together campaign launches on August 25, and will run through October 13. Everyone at CCC will be invited to be a part of the renovation by making donations and/or pledges for a 2-year commitment period as part of this campaign. Download a Commitment Card. Please pray over your commitment throughout this 8-week period. Giving to this campaign officially opens on October 13; however, anyone may begin contributing earlier if they prefer. Contributions may be made online, in-person via offering boxes, or by mail (including stock or assets). Click here for more details on how to give to the "Renew Together" campaign.
