The Chapel in the Pines: Cost

Pledge History Purpose Description Cost Chapel Fund

Pryor and Morrow Architects of Columbus have donated the design work for the Chapel Project. Chris Morrow estimates the cost of the Chapel, complete with parking and landscaping to be $303,000. The Fellowship Hall, completely equipped is expected to cost approximately $195,000, making a total of $498,000 for construction and equipping/furnishing the project.

Based on the Architects' estimates, the EMCC Development Foundation has established a goal of $500,000 to be raised for the Chapel Project.
