On Monday, June 2, Christ Church held a called Charge Conference for the purpose of electing a building committee to address the Christ Church School master plan. The meeting was called to order by the South East District Superintendent, Rev. Dr. Simon Osunlana, and the following motion was made by the Church Council Chairperson, Nathan Hickman: 

Pursuant to Paragraph 2544 of the 2020-2024 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church, as Chair, and on behalf of, the Church Council, I move that the Charge Conference of Christ Church United Methodist authorize a Building Committee to determine the facility needs for implementing the Master Plan of Christ Church School. The Building Committee will develop preliminary architectural plans, preliminary cost for facility renovation and/or new construction; and develop a preliminary financial plan. 

The Building Committee will present in a timely manner a recommendation to a future called Church Conference. The recommendation will include drawings and other conceptual materials to clearly communicate the scope and purpose of the projects for consideration by the congregation members present at the Church Conference. 

Furthermore, I nominate the following slate as the Building Committee; 

Chair:

Randall Vitale (Church Member, School Board Chair) 

Connie Bookholt (Church member) 

Norliza Batts (Church member) 

Connie Booth (Church member) 

Dick Behn (Church member) 

Ryan McBride (Church member) 

John Elleston 

Shane Grabski 

Thomas Manos 

Jeff Suiter 



Ex-Officio: 

Doug Johns

Cathy Johns

Tane Bonham

Monique McBride

Mike Gartland

Stacey Spencer

The vote was unanimous (14-0) in favor of establishing the building committee. As Christ Church/Christ Church School moves into the future it is exciting to witness the Spirit of our living God moving in our midst. 

I look forward to working together as we claim our place in our partnership with God and God’s acts of new creation! See you in Church,

Through Christ,

Pastor Doug Johns
