One of the priorities of this year’s Board is to engage in a discernment process about the long-term future of the Chelan property. Please plan to join us on Sunday, November 3, following worship, for the Fall Town Hall to begin a congregational discernment process regarding the future of the property.

A light lunch will be served.

The Board has begun this discernment process by investigating all the possible options for the property that have been suggested in past years. They've put together information pages with explanations and offering pros and cons for each option. At the Town Hall, members will have an opportunity to rotate through rooms and explore each option sharing feedback and questions which the Board will collect, review and answer.

Please click the blue links for each option below for more information about that option.

• OPTION 1 - Stay the Course: keep doing what we're doing
• Chelan Option #1

• OPTION 2 - Develop the land for future BUUF use without residential tenants
• Chelan Option #2

• OPTION 3 - Sell the property and use funds to further our mission and vision
• Chelan Option #3

• OPTION 4 - Hybrid Option to subdivide the Chelan Lot into two parcels, selling one lot and keeping the other for potential future use
• Chelan Option #4

• OPTION 5 - Develop the property for affordable housing in partnership with other community organizations
• Chelan Option #5

We hope to offer a final decision for congregational vote at our Annual Meeting in May 2025. Your board and staff look forward to your input.
