McDougall Facility Purchase & Initial Restoration

McDougall | In Progress — 2025–2026

PURCHASE PRICE: $3,850,000

INITIAL RENOVATION BUDGET: $1,200,000

In September 2025, Central purchased historic McDougall Auditorium, opening the door to establish our fourth congregation in the heart of downtown Edmonton.

Built in 1910, this remarkable facility offers tremendous ministry potential but requires significant restoration. Our initial work has included exterior brick repairs, auditorium plaster and painting, audiovisual upgrades, renovated washrooms, and other essential improvements.

On October 25, 2026, we launched weekly worship services at McDougall—an exciting milestone in our vision to reach more people throughout the Edmonton region.

Work continues on the remaining exterior restoration, kids ministry areas, classrooms, and other gathering spaces. The purchase and initial renovations have been financed through borrowing, with Building Together gifts helping reduce debt and support further improvements.

We're grateful for the opportunity to preserve this historic building while preparing it for a new generation of worship, discipleship, community life, and outreach downtown.
