Phase 2 Building Update

In March 2006 construction was completed on our multi-purpose building. We were excited to finally meet in our own building, but quickly realized that we needed more space for Bible study, youth meetings, fellowship functions and other activities, so the following steps have been taken.

Item Completion Date

Phase 2 Team begins work February 2007

Architect selected — October 2007
Building design — Spring 2009
Contractor selected — Fall 2009
Building permits approved by City of Chandler — January 2010
Bond Issue — See below

The necessary financial audits were completed and submitted to Rives, Leavell & Co. RLC will print the bond prospectus and submit it to the Arizona securities regulators for approval. Once the bond issue and prospectus are approved, RLC can begin selling the bonds. First Baptist Church and friends have the exclusive right to buy bonds for seven days.

After that, RLC will begin marketing the bonds to their clients.
Once we have sold $1.4M of the bonds we will be able to use those funds to start construction of the new building.
