TENTATIVE CASE STATEMENT Church of the Holy Apostles Collierville, TN Leadership The Rev. John P. Leach Rector The Rev. Susan K. Crawford Priest Associate Steering Team Susan Kenny Tiffany Siegel Master Plan Committee Kimberly Jordan Frank Mayfield Phillip Morris Elaine Sanders Marianne Waszilycsak Ben Wingfield Total Proposed Capital Campaign Goal: $8,534,300 Holy Apostles began as a parochial mission of Church of the Holy Communion in 1965. The original church was located in the Hickory Hill area of Memphis, where it enjoyed thirtyfive years of ministry among the neighborhood there. In June of 2003, the parish moved and began worshiping in the Agape Chapel on the campus of St. George s Independent High School in north Collierville, the Eastern most suburb of Memphis. The present Church of the Holy Apostles was completed in 2006 and Phase II, the multi-purpose Parish Life Center, was completed in 2008. Through the years, the parishioners of Holy Apostles have been committed to mission and ministry and known for faithfulness and commitment to God, each other, and the community. As we look to 2016 and the commemoration of our 50th year together, we are ready to explore the exciting possibilities of new ministries and expanded space. While we honor and celebrate the past, we eagerly embrace and welcome the future. How We Came to Consider a Campaign The process for the formation of a new master plan began over 3 years ago. At that time, the Vestry acknowledged the unique mission and ministry of Holy Apostles in the community and the space needs of the church. Over the course of the past 3 years, church leaders met with existing and potential outreach partners, schools, and community organizations to assess their needs. They also met with existing Holy Apostles ministry leaders to assess internal needs. Leaders asked Phil Morris, a parishioner who is also an architect, to assist in creating a plan. With Phil s help, the Vestry developed a comprehensive architectural program statement that was given to The Crump Firm, a local architectural firm, so that it could develop the schematics. The firm was very impressed with all the work that had been done to gather the information for the architectural program statement. The Crump Firm created the plan drawings based on the information they received and presented them to the Vestry.

been involved in the process, spending over five hundred hours to date. After obtaining estimates on those projects, the Vestry realized we needed to retain the services of a consultant to explore the possibility of a capital campaign with the congregation to fund it all. As part of the Discernment process for a proposed Capital Campaign, we solicited dreams from the congregation and ministries of Holy Apostles. We carefully listened to these suggestions and incorporated them into the following proposed capital projects. These are only estimates and are subject to change once formal project bids are solicited, in response to the congregation s expressed support. Final estimates could also change by executing some projects concurrently, thereby creating efficiency and cost savings. Momentum is building for what promises to be an exciting time for our church family. By being good stewards of Holy Apostles needs, and giving current and future parishioners a place of worship of which they can be proud, we will be able to focus on the true missions of this unique place of worship. Your response to this feasibility study portion of the proposed Capital Campaign process will tell us how well we have listened and will be crucial to determining priorities and ascertaining our congregation s level of support for the proposed projects. Please take the time to thoughtfully and prayerfully respond. PROPOSED PLANS: $8,534,300 Re-purpose of PLC & Addition to Existing Space $2,200,000 The PLC was built at a time when the congregation was smaller and had different needs. It has been a useful multi-functional space for many years thanks to the generosity of so many faithful members of Holy Apostles. The PLC, from its conception, has given us space to grow, to share fellowship with one another, and to meet a limited number of needs within our community. With our growing and changing parish, however, the PLC can no longer adequately meet our needs. The re-purpose and addition to the Parish Life Center will allow for this space to be more aesthetically and acoustically pleasing for large events, such as Rector s Forum, receptions, large meetings, Family Life Center (gym) $1,368,000 parish events and speaker series. A larger choir room is needed for the comfort of choir members during practice and pre-service warm-ups, in addition to providing better acoustics and a bigger area for choristers to vest comfortably. The conference room will seat 20-25 people for meetings, additional adult classes on Sunday mornings and other community gatherings. The conference room will also include a built-in vanity for brides, making it a functional bride s room. This building will consolidate all administrative offices in one suite, instead of having some in classrooms, which is now the case. The expanded kitchen will be able to accommodate larger events. The new Family Life Center will allow us flexibility in hosting East Shelby Church Recreation Association (ESCRA) games, Crosscheck games and various local school team games. 2 teams can use the space for practice, as the regulation size court will be big enough to divide in half. Current demand for this type of space in our area is such that the space could be used 7 days a week. The large gathering space will also be ideal for large parish-wide events and dinners. 2

Family Life Center (classes/ mtg., etc.) $2,080,000 The rooms around the new gym could be used for additional Youth space (7-12 grade classes). The building could include showers/dressing rooms that would allow us to host groups/events, such as Happening and other youth activities. Additional space could be provided for other community organizations like the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) food drop-off, Clothing Closet, Operation Backpack, after-school tutoring, and health fairs. The additional space will also allow us to expand the use of other existing education space (education wing) such as Christian education, youth and children s activities (ex. VBS, Scouts, Helping Hands, Samaritan Counseling, and Collierville Literacy Council.) Education Wing $1,415,600 This new addition would allow for ten classrooms to provide education space for ALL ages. All rooms will be designed with flexibility in mind to accommodate a variety of functions. There will also be a storage room as well as an outdoor play yard that adjoins the education wing/toddler classroom. This configuration would allow Nave/Chancel Extension $610,200 The current space has room for approximately 315 seats, including the choir. This space is not adequate for an average to large size wedding or funeral, services for Christmas and Easter, and community events. By Narthex $601,500 Currently the Narthex is used by people entering the sanctuary, as well as ushers and the processional party. It does not give space for gathering before the service and creates a bottleneck for people entering after the processional party has gathered. This new space creates a Porte Cochere $160,000 for Children s Chapel and a larger youth space as well as a child friendly space for the nursery and toddler rooms. It would also be able to accommodate bible study, youth group, and young adult classes as well as outside group activities. This additional space would allow for all rooms to be use used during the week by various groups. extending the Nave we will be able to realistically gain 150 seats, which would meet the current needs of large services and various community events, while still allowing for growth. larger Narthex and provides a gathering space to welcome and greet newcomers. It will also allow for better access in all weather conditions as well as providing a dedicated room for vesting for the acolytes, Eucharistic ministers, and clergy. This new space would allow for a covered drop off/pick up area and new entrance. Covered Porch $99,000 This new space in the brick triptych design would be the main entrance into the worship area. This space would create a hospitable welcome, keep people out of the weather, and would be an aesthetically inviting space. 4
