In 2008 the Session of SPC formed two committees to explore future ministry needs of the church (the Ministry Development Team) and how the physical needs of the church can facilitate our ministries and the growth that has been given to us (the Facilities Development Team.)

Each team has been working hard over the past few months and are in collaboration with each other as the development of ministries and our building needs move forward.

The Committee stresses that this is fact-finding only...that no decision has been made by the church to proceed with a capital campaign nor any renovation and expansion as of this time.
