In 2005 Belconnen Baptist went
through a capital fund raising program called “Influencing The
Capital” with the aim of raising funds to extend our facilities and
to understand the purposes why. We praise God for the amount
pledged!
 At
last, work on Stage One is commencing. The demolition and removal of
the Resource Centre garage and carport has been completed. A
builder has been selected. Mifsud Constructions signed the
contract on 13 July.
Stage One includes extensions and renovations to the staff offices
at the Church Centre and extensions to the Resource Centre.
Work will commence on 7
August and completion of the project is expected by 17 November.
Extensions to
Offices
The extensions to the
Offices in the Church Centre will be the first task with the
external work being completed before the existing external wall is
opened and internal work commenced, including the replacement of the
ceiling panels.
Admin staff will continue to use
the offices for the entire time of the project. From approximately 8
September for around one month Pastoral Staff will operate from
their homes, though they will continue to come to the church centre
for various duties. The work on the offices is expected to be
completed by 9 October.
At the Resource Centre, the work
will initially be external and some activities in the building may
continue until the existing walls are opened to allow completion of
the internal work. It is expected that the external work will be
completed around 8 September.
To help minimize costs there will
be coordinated working bees.
Your help in
any way would be appreciated.
Use of the
Resource Centre
The Church can have
continuing use of the front of the building (Lounge, Kitchen, Family
Room, Office) throughout the project. The toilets will remain
available in the early weeks but after that users will need to go to
the church to use toilets. The "back bedrooms" must be made
available to the builder by the 8th of September, when they expect
to break through and commence internal work.
Mifsud Constructions will use the
former Young Life office (MPR#3) for administration and storage
purposes throughout the project. They will also use the Laundry for
storage purposes. We wish to thank Ric Small and David Witteveen for
all their work.

Influencing the Capital - the vision and challenge
Since the commencement of this church 33 years ago, Belconnen Baptist has influenced many lives in Canberra and through many parts of Australia and the world. We are now entering a new chapter that will further influence the Capital.
Influencing the Capital will be an exciting, challenging and faith-stretching experience for us at Belconnen Baptist. To make any lasting impact requires commitment and sacrifice. This brochure specifically challenges us to prayerfully consider ways that we may give financially to the building of His Church!
At Belconnen Baptist we have a vision to be a church of Godly influence… where the Holy Spirit changes the destiny of many. Jesus said, “Build my church” (Matthew 16:18)
