Important Update
The Lord has blessed GRC in finding a potential new short-term home! We are looking for congregational support in this decision. Please click the button below to find details and pictures of this new promising location.
The purpose of the Short-Term Plan is to find a temporary home for GRC while we explore options in finding our permanent home
Option 1: Warehouse
Pros
Allows us to
release the Franklin office & free up
additional monthly cash
Cons
Not typically located in highly
visible areas. Size: there is
usually a large sqft requirement. Significant retro-fit for church use including HVAC, restrooms, demising walls, drop ceilings, etc. Usually insufficient parking
Other Comments
Lower rates but expect larger footprint which negates the savings
Required Deposit
TBD
Other Financials
Realtor-estimated monthly cost of ~$4,500/mo
Total Cost
TBD
Option 2: Retail Space
Pros
Usually located in prime areas with
high traffic. Outreach opportunities and curb appeal for walk-ins. One-step process if we find the right building
Cons
Cost: significantly more expensive; even 3,500 sq ft would likely be a budget stretch. Not walk-in ready: typically need retro-fitting for church use. Parking: 250 attendees requires ~100 parking spaces
Other Comments
Need to know landlord interest in using as a church, as well as surrounding retailers. Potentially release the Franklin office, depending on size of space.

Option 3: Sunday Rental
Pros
Quick and easy
Cons
Would need to retain Franklin office so that money would not be available. Possibility of
conflicting events.
Other Comments
Need to continue with weekly set-up/tear-down. Need storage
space. Could be part of a
2-step process.

Option 4: Existing Church
Pros
Potentially allows us to release the Franklin office & free up additional monthly cash.
Cons
N/A
Other Comments
Availability is few and far between. Would potentially need to respond/act quickly. May or may not
meet/exceed size. Assume pure
move, not merger. Could we share a
space?
