To our Cathedral Rock Church Family,
As we look back on how far the Lord has brought us, we are amazed by everything
He has done in and through our church. Our hearts are full of gratitude for His many
blessings and for all of the sacrifices made by His faithful followers who call Cathedral
Rock Church their home. We look forward to the day when we can reflect on our years
and say with absolute confidence and amazement that God enabled us to accomplish
what He called us to do. Most importantly, we know that God desires to use us for His
glory – both individually and corporately as a church.
The elders of Cathedral Rock Church, past and present, are united in the mission and
vision for our church. We know that it will take each and every one of us working
diligently together to achieve this clear and compelling task. We trust a mighty God
to strengthen our church and supply our needs as we set our sights on gaining a place
of permanence to impact this community for generations to come. We believe having
our own church facility will be an incredible tool to help us further realize our mission,
vision, and values – multiplying more and better disciples, launching new churches, and
having an irreplaceable impact in Northern El Paso County.
The time has come for all of us to prayerfully consider using some of the resources
God has entrusted to our care toward this stewardship initiative in order to launch the
construction of a Phase 1 facility project. We have the people, the mission, and the
property – all we need now is the funding for a facility. As entrusted leaders of this
church family, we want you to know that each of you are loved and appreciated for your
generosity that is used to advance God’s kingdom. We consider every penny a blessing
and are committed to being honorable stewards with your valuable gifts. May we be
reminded of what Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 19:26 (NIV): “With man this is
impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

The overall facility project employs a phased construction strategy. Phase 1, as currently designed, can support the church’s full ministry vision for several years. Cathedral Rock Church will only move to follow-on phases and additional construction IF actual church growth highlights a need for additional ministry space, the proposed plan supports the CRC ministry vision, and the church can afford to build additional facilities.
What will the new facility look like?
Phase 1 is a functional structure that includes the following:
• Approximately 11,000 square feet of ministry space.
• Option for an additional 5,000 square foot mezzanine if funds allow.
• Multi-Purpose Auditorium seating 300 for weekly worship and events.
• Children’s Ministry area with space for nursery to 5th graders. Includes some multi-purpose rooms for use by groups throughout the week.
• Paved and lighted parking for over 100 vehicles.
• An inviting “connection” foyer with a serving kitchen/café.
• Adequate restrooms and storage.• Attractive xeriscape landscaping and signage.
Phase 1 is the “beach head” plan that will allow CRC to establish an initial presence on the property. It will provide space for worshiping, connecting, and impacting our community. Phase 1 is an integral part and lays the foundation for the larger Master Build-Out Plan, and may eventually become a full CRC ministry campus over a period of years as needs arise and funding is available. All Phase 1 and Master Build-out renderings can be found on the CRC Planting Roots website.

• A two-story Children’s Ministry wing with
a nursery, dedicated rooms for toddlers to 5th grade with a children’s auditorium and special needs classroom all designed to support a full range of children’s programs.

• Paved and lighted parking lot for over 250 vehicles.
• Attractive xeriscape landscaping and signage.
God has given CRC a mission and vision, which includes a home – our place of permanence in Northern El Paso County. How can you support?
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” –John 15:5-8 (NIV)
We are unable to accomplish anything by ourselves.

The facility project team is working with a $2.7M (+/- 15%) planning budget during the schematic design phase. This planning budget provides a rough estimate of what the Phase 1 structure will cost based on projections from the facility team and general contractor. It is important to note that the final cost may vary based on actual construction fees and options. Below is the current projection. The $3.14M estimate includes the property loan, half of which is already paid off, and contingencies:
To achieve the required funds, CRC must finance a portion of the expenses. The Elder Board has set a goal of $1.2M for the Planting Roots Stewardship Initiative, which means that approximately $1.58M will need to be financed to fund Phase 1. The amount we need to finance will decrease if we raise more than $1.2M – a reason to prayerfully consider giving! While this amount is significant, we are currently paying a significant amount to rent space for worship in the Tri-Lakes YMCA, for storage, and for church offices.
Land Purchase $700,000
Site Prep/Parking $400,000
Facility Construction $1,650,000 (11,000 sq ft @ $150 psf)
Tap/Connection Fees $60,000
Professional Fees $130,000 (architect/engineer)
Landscaping/Signage $100,000 (allowance)
Project Contingency $ 100,000
TOTAL ESTIMATE $ 3,140,000
How much will the new facility cost?
