Thoughts
" It was not on tales artfully spun that we relied when we told you of the power of our Lord Jesus Christ and his coming; we saw him with our own eyes in majesty, when at the hands of God the Father he was invested with honour and glory, and there came to him from the sublime presence a voice which said: 'This is my Son, my Beloved, on whom my favor rests.'  This voice from heaven we ourselves heard; when it came, we were with him on the sacred mountain."
2 Peter 1: 16-19


"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ"    Romans 10:17

 Architectural Review Committee

The Architectural Review Committee is a subcommittee of the Property Committee. The purpose of the Architectural Review Committee is to preserve and protect the historical heritage of St. John's Lutheran Church and to enhance the beauty of God's holy house of worship for future generations. The committee will be responsible for reviewing and making recommendations as it may pertain to any modifications to all church property, including, but not limited to, the sanctuary, classrooms, fellowship hall, common spaces, Ballenger property, Biggerstaff, parsonage and any other properties that may be added in the future. This pertains to furnishings, fabrics, paints, colors, textures, materials, accessibility for the impaired, signage, and anything affecting the architecture of the buildings. It also includes the removal or addition, rearranging or redesigning of anything that is considered permanent to the decor of the sanctuary and remaining structures that make up the property of St. John's Lutheran Church. The interior of the parsonage is considered private, and colors, patterns, carpet, wallpaper, window dressings, etc. will be at the discretion of the pastor and his family. The Architectural Review Committee will review and make recommendations to the Property Committee, who in turn will make recommendations to the Church Council who will have final authority on such matters. Any new buildings constructed or renovation of existing buildings will automatically have the chairperson of the Architectural Review Committee as a member of the "Building Committee".

The committee will consist of six members of the congregation. The initial group will elect a chairperson and that person will meet with the Property Committee at its regularly scheduled meetings. The chairperson will report back to the Architectural Review Committee.

The terms for the Architectural Review Committee will be established as follows:

Two members from the congregation will be appointed by the Property Committee to serve at the pleasure of the Property Committee for a period not to exceed 10 years. Four members will be appointed by the Property Committee serving staggered terms. Pastors may be ex-officio members.
