CHAPEL FUND
Construction Phase One: Foundation- COMPLETE
- Giving Tuesday, November 29, 2016: $3,000- SURPASSED!
- December 31, 2016: $25,000- SURPASSED!
Construction Phase Two: Pond and Fencing (County and Fire Department requirements)
- This phase consists of meeting the county and fire department codes, which are required before we can continue any further with the construction of the chapel. One requirement is a 7,000 gallon static water supply on-site, with drafting apparatus for fire truck access. To meet this requirement, we are building a pond, which will then not only serve for fire safety, but also enhance the retreat environment with a beautiful prayer and meditation area.
- San Joaquin County also requires us to have appropriate screening/fencing on our property due to public use as a religious assembly.
- Estimated cost: $85,000
Projected total cost:
- $500,000 by 2018
- As of March 2017, we already raised 20% of this amount.
This projected cost of building the chapel includes complying with city and county codes, such as ADA (American Disability Act) restrooms, ADA walkways, Fire Department requirements, a parking area,etc.
