45 Overall Project Timeline September 2005 a congregational meeting took place with the Synod Office staff and the Diocesan Treasurer. The parish were advised to embark on a visioning and discernment process. Just two weeks later a fire destroyed the Hall and western end of the building. It took almost two years to complete the restoration we began the Get Fit, Keep Fit program which resulted in a two year visioning p process culminating in a Ministry Covenant signed by Bishop Michael and parish leaders in September Amongst other things this Covenant requested a professional assessment of the building which took place later that year. The full mechanical, electrical and structural inspection concluded that the cost of a complete renovation might be almost as expensive as a rebuild. February 2010 the parish at its Vestry asked the Building Committee to provide more information regarding a replacement building. September 2010 a parish conference was held to create a vision of what a new building might look like and why it would be important for the community as well as the congregation. Fall of 2010 Epiphany enters MAP with other parishes in western Surrey. November 2010 there was a parish consultation to consider the costs of a new build verses a major structural refit. At Vestry in February 2011 the meeting voted 42 votes to 5 to proceed with a redevelopment of the Epiphany site (Church and Rectory). As part of the MAP Bruce Hiebert inspected the site and offered the following The building needs substantial repair and renovation. If the current layout does not serve ministry needs, it may be cheaper to tear down and build a more appropriate structure. August 31 st 2011 Rectory is vacated. September 2011 MAP report concludes with the following observation: Finally, we firmly believe that a new building which is warm, inviting, comfortable and sustainable will play an important part in building the life and witness of our parish. At present we have something that is inaccessible and inhospitable and therefore does not reflect our values as a community. A new facility is vital to the growth and development of our parish. September October 2011 Professional financial feasibility study determined we could expect to raise $800,000 from the congregation for a new Church through pledges and fund raising. Fall Repeated break-ins at the Rectory give serious cause for concern regarding safety and security of the Rectory and especially for our caretaker February 2012 Council decides to seek permission of Diocese to demolish Rectory permit applications from City of Surrey are obtained. May 2012 Diocesan Council grants permission to demolish Rectory he Anglican Church of the Epiphany
46 Overall Project Timeline Spring/Summer 2012 Surveys undertaken at the Rectory. These included a detailed study of the hazardous materials in the rectory and professional tree survey both which were required by the City of Surrey to obtain a demolition. Estimates were obtained for demolition, all in the region of $28,000. July 2012 After studying the proposals, and interviewing three architectural firms to design the new building SHAPE Architecture is selected and immediately begins work. August 31 st 2012 Demolition of the rectory is complete at the cost of $18,000 plus tax. September 9 th 2012 SHAPE team attends worship and meets some members of the congregation. September 23 rd 2012 SHAPE does a major presentation and consultation with the congregation, following a series of meetings with the Building Committee November 18 th 2012 SHAPE presents a blue print for a new building with a model following further meetings with the Building Committee January 2013 the Building Committee make a professional DVD, under the advice and direction of Randy Murray, Communications Officer for the Diocese, featuring members of the parish, the architectural firm and Bishop Michael. January 2013 Carla Kazemi informs the rector that her company might be interested in bidding for the contract to build the Church. Carla steps down from the Building Committee with immediate effect. Doug Williams is appointed Acting Chair and later Chair of the Building Committee. February 2013 Carla stands down from her role as Member at Large on Parish Council at Vestry Subsequently Joan Harris (Carla s mother) and Holly Anonby (Carla s sister) take a leave of absence from the Building Committee whilst conversations continue regarding a potential contractor for the construction of the Church. Spring 2013 The Church of the Epiphany formally approached the Diocesan Leadership seeking advice of whether there was a potential conflict of interest regarding Carla Kazemi s company bidding for the potential contract to build the Church of the Epiphany. New Members are added to the Building Committee to strengthen the team in the light of stepping aside of three key members of the team. These include Dianne Villalbazo (Warden), Brian Reay, Don Newby, Lynne Groves (former Warden) May 2013 The parish undertakes an in-house capital campaign (chaired by Don and Carol Williams) - 95% of Church members were visited - $520,000 is pledged over six years - As of February 2014, 20% of that sum has already been given to the project - The team is trained by Carol Tindall of St Dunstan s who chaired their capital campaign. - The parish produced a professionally produced campaign leaflet to inform the congregation. The DVD is shown to every parishioner who was visited. he Anglican Church of the Epiphany
47 Overall Project Timeline September 2013 Stephen Rowe and Lynne Groves went to meet with City of Surrey planners and to look at the possibility of constructing a new Church with a residential property on the former rectory site. This followed a feasibility study undertaken by Pacific Land Group. February 2014 The parish voted to incorporate at its Vestry of February 23 rd Don Paul guided the parish through this process with the support and cooperation of Dianne Villalbazo. March 2014 Presentation by members of the Building Committee to A&F March 25th 2014 June 2015 Formal application submitted to Ruth Monette for Grant/Loan funding on June July 2015 Meeting with Ruth Monette and members of the Building Committee to discuss application on July 22nd 2015 June 2016 Meeting with Ruth Monette and Rob Dickson and members of the Building Committee on June 15th 2016 Meeting with Bishop Melissa and Stephen Rowe on June 30th 2016 May 2014 Presentation by members of the Building Committee to Synod, May 24th 2014 June 2014 Meeting with Bob Hardy and Rob Dickson and Building Committee on June 4th 2014 September 2014 Meeting with Bob Hardy and Rob Dickson and Building Committee on September 4th 2014 November 2014 Presentation by members of the Building Committee to Bishop Melissa, David Swann (Chair of MMD), and Ruth Monette on November 12th 2014 December 2014 Informal conversation with Bob Hardy about Grant/Loan application on December 23rd 2014 he Anglican Church of the Epiphany
