- The Church is leveraging our existing land spaces to the fullest extent to serve our ministry needs and the community. We want to improve our facilities to create long-term solutions for our current issues and help establish a plan for future growth. DOT, Burnet ISD and Bertram City Council were contacted, and they all project Bertram to grow by 30% in the next 5 years. The building committee tried to estimate the additional costs associated with continuing to keep the current Annex limping along (e.g. replacing aging A/C units, lighting/fan problems, additional plumbing issues) and concluded that the associated cost without creating additional space was not the best option? Our master plan was to capture the now and future needs of the Church (Hospitality, Sunday School, Wed night Team Warriors, Vacation Bible School, Church Administration space, Choir, Youth, Missions, Nursery, parking, foyer, etc.).
- "Volunteer Christian Builders is a non-profit 501c3 organization made up of volunteers of all ages and walks of life. We work together with one common goal that binds us all together: the desire to help churches and christian camps build buildings they could not do without volunteer labor. We are fully funded by individuals and churches. To learn more about our history visit our blog posts."
