Archaeological Survey
We remain in the pre-development stage where active changes often come slowly. However, lack of obvious growth does not mean lack of progress.
At this point, our archaeological survey has moved forward allowing submission of our building plans to Community Planning at the City of Toronto. This represents a significant step forward in the building permit application process. It does not guarantee a date on which shovels will go into the ground. However, it does show we have made great progress towards that date.
Continue praying for God's leading and wisdom in this project. The members of the Building Committee continue working faithfully to bring the needs of APC's church families to the design of this structure and to ensure everything is ready for each next step made available to us by City Planners. As we entrust the plans to His care, God can influence the hearts and spirits of our government officials to favourably consider the future needs of our ministries.
Giving Update
So exciting to be able to say that we have surpassed the $100,000 mark! Thank you for your generosity and continued support for this important expansion project.
About the Author
Pastor Dwight Anderson
He wants to see the operations, facilities, and Human Resources department of APC develop into the portion of the church using the spiritual gift of administration rather than the place where administratively skilled people get slotted to work; a place where the Holy Spirit creatively works through people each day validating and anointing them for His intended purposes. His hobbies include continuing education, gardening, and watching the Leafs. He is the Director of Human Resources and Operations and leads Believer's Life Bible Study and 4Forty.
Part of the APC team since 2009. His hometown is Pembroke, Ontario.

The project:
The budgeted cost of the expansion is $3.1 million. As a church family, we have already saved $2.0 million to-date, with wise direction from our board of deacons. So, we've got $1.1 million to raise through this special building fund project. Our goal is reach this amount by our next anniversary, May 2012.
Pastor Smith has invited our children and teens to take part and join every adult to participate in this church family project. The challenge is for each one to give something that means a personal sacrifice for them. It's a big amount, but we can make it if we all do our part.
Pledges and Giving
So, how are we doing? These amounts are current from our May 7/8, 2011 services: pledge cards turned in and funds already given. Pledges and funds contributed from May 14/15 weekend will be available later this week.
