Trinity’s current HVAC system, including 40+ year and only partially operational boiler is extremely inefficient and we are paying thousands extra in utility costs every year. We are also paying tens of thousands of extra dollars every year in maintenance and contracts to keep the current system running. The Capital Plan is to work with expert architects and engineers to design and install a modern and efficient heating and cooling system that will significantly lower our annual operating costs, bring heat and air to areas of the church that are not currently served, keep our air cleaner inside, add insulation and sealing where needed to help with efficiency, and help us be better stewards of God’s creation.

Our building is essential to our Parish Life and Community Outreach. We plan to upgrade our se- curity, both by upgrading our externally-focused security system and cameras, as well as installing glass in all of our classroom doors. We will meet our changing kitchen needs, as well as conserve utilities by installing new appliances and a range hood. Many of our carpets throughout the building are over 40 years old and need replaced. Finally, our large gathering space, the May Room, needs technology upgrades and the floor refinished and protected.

Preserving the beauty of our Sanctuary, both its interior and exterior, is a priority for this Campaign. The bulk of needed work is for maintenance on our historic stained-glass windows. This work will use newer preservation techniques to ensure they are protected from the elements for decades to come. Protecting and refinishing the floors, and a new Assisted Listening System are also priorities.

Although we will have succeeded in all we set out to do together when we reach our Primary Goal of $750,000, any gift raised above that goal will be used to create a Preservation and Maintenance Endowment so that we can work to fully fund our maintenance schedule every year.
