The Session has established a Long Range Planning Committee consisting of Kenny Hopper as Moderator, William Cole and Billie Lois Marshall. Three months from now they will report back to the Session with their recommendations. They invite your suggestions about the issues outlined below.
The Long Range Planning Committee will:
1. Review all church property including the old sanctuary, Whitten House, Youth House and vacant lot next to the church.
2. Determine parking requirements and needs and review the church's use of the First Security Bank parking lot.
3. Contact the First United Methodist Church of Batesville and other area churches including those in Oxford and Tupelo to determine cost of construction of a Family Life Center.
4. Contact First Baptist Church of Batesville to determine the cost of upkeep, maintenance and personnel on their Family Life Center.
5. Determine the cost to repair the old sanctuary and consider how it may be used if repaired.
6. Determine the best location and size of a new building and consider a range of building materials such as red steel.
7. Receive reports and recommendations from any church member who has contacted architects or other professionals in regard to these matters.
8. Consult with other church members, church groups or outside experts as needed.
