Southeast | Completed 2017

ORIGINAL MORTGAGE: $3,767,583

Our Southeast congregation launched in 2012, meeting in several temporary locations, including the Connors Hill gym, Hillview Baptist Church, and Edith Rogers Junior High School. As the congregation grew, we began searching for a permanent home.

In 2017, our church approved the purchase of six light-industrial bays near Summerside. We developed the space into a welcoming church facility with a 300-seat auditorium, kids ministry areas, a foyer, and offices.

Following the purchase and renovation, we celebrated our first worship service in the new facility in August 2017.

This investment established a permanent home for Southeast, providing space for growing ministries, community life, and neighbourhood outreach. Building Together continues to help us reduce the original mortgage and prepare for future opportunities.

TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS: $1,873,089

With the Connors Hill master plan developed and the Southeast facility purchased, our church faced significant opportunities to invest in spaces for future ministry.

Rather than pursuing separate fundraising initiatives at each site, our leadership invited the whole church family to participate in a shared commitment. This became Building Together.

Through prayer, generosity, and participation across our congregations, we received $1,873,089 in contributions during the first three-year campaign.

These gifts helped us complete significant facility improvements and established a pattern of investing together in the spaces God has entrusted to us.

Building Together has continued to grow from that first campaign, supporting ministry across our expanding family of congregations.

Connors Hill, Southeast & Sherwood Park | Completed 2023

PROJECT COST: $15,382

As our ministries have grown, so has the need for safe, convenient access to our facilities throughout the week.

Through Building Together, we installed electronic FOB access systems on exterior doors across our three sites. These systems make it easier to manage access for staff, volunteers, ministry programs, community events, and facility rentals while maintaining appropriate building security.

It's a practical improvement that helps our buildings function more effectively and supports the many ministries and community groups that use our spaces throughout the week.

Southeast | In Progress

ORIGINAL MORTGAGE: $3,767,583

REMAINING MORTGAGE: Approximately $2.6 million (Fall 2026)

When Central purchased and renovated our Southeast facility in 2017, it gave our growing congregation a permanent home for worship, discipleship, kids ministry, and community outreach.

Through Building Together, we've already paid down more than $1.2 million of the original mortgage, and our goal is to eliminate the remaining debt.

Reducing this financial burden will free resources for ministry, outreach, leadership development, and future opportunities to expand our facilities.

While mortgage reduction may be less visible than a renovation, it represents an important investment in the future. Every dollar of debt we eliminate strengthens our financial flexibility and helps prepare Southeast for the opportunities ahead.

Connors Hill, Southeast, Sherwood Park & McDougall | Upcoming

2023 ESTIMATE: $100,000 (Original Three-Site Plan)

Clear, visible signage helps people find our facilities, identify entrances, and feel welcome when visiting for the first time.

Our original plan included new signage near Connors Road and the east entrance at Connors Hill, improved visibility facing Summerside at Southeast, and permanent exterior signage and a west-facing cross at Sherwood Park.

With the addition of McDougall, we're also planning appropriate signage for our new downtown congregation.

These improvements will make our buildings easier to recognize and navigate, helping people connect with the ministries and communities gathering inside.

The 2023 estimate reflects the original three-site plan. Specific projects and costs will be updated as plans develop.

Southeast | Future Possibility

Since establishing our permanent home near Summerside in 2017, we've continued to dream about how additional ministry space could help us serve our growing community.

One possibility is acquiring neighbouring commercial bays to expand our existing facility. This could create room for a larger auditorium, a gym or multipurpose recreation space, and additional areas for kids, youth, and community programs.

We're particularly excited about the opportunities a gym or flexible gathering area could provide throughout the week—welcoming neighbourhood families, hosting recreation and outreach activities, and creating more places for relationships to develop.

These ideas remain long-term possibilities rather than committed projects. Our immediate priority is reducing the Southeast mortgage, building greater financial freedom to pursue future opportunities as they arise.
