An Important Update

Hunerberg Construction, our new general contractor, is working diligently on our renovation project. Unfortunately, we learned that the concrete foundation that was previously poured for our new addition is defective. For a number of reasons, it makes fiscal sense to delay further work on the new construction addition until late spring.  Your Board of Trustees, in partnership with the Facilities Transformation Team and Finance Committee, have been working hard to develop a plan to manage these changes and have been meeting regularly to make wise decisions about how to best proceed with the project.

Hunerberg Construction continues to make good progress on the renovation of our existing building and expects to complete it by early June. Given that those spaces will be ready for us and we’re eager to get back into our building, we will move to a two phased approach for our building project.

New Timeline

Phase 1 (Feb – June 2025): Complete the renovation / remodel of our existing church building at 4000 Golden Valley Road to include: Sanctuary improvements, expanded Garden Court that opens to Friendship Hall, new meditation space, updated kitchen, new east stairway with added storage below, enlarged nursery & refreshed classrooms with 2 new bathrooms on the upper level.  Anticipated completion date is early June 2025.  We can return to our church building for Saturday, Sunday, and weeknight activities!  Weekday activities will be at another location until Phase 2 is completed.

NOTE: Phase 1 renovated building will not yet be fully accessible. The elevator and new women’s & men’s restrooms on the lower level are in Phase 2.

Phase 2 (May – Sept 2025): Complete the new construction addition at the SW corner of our remodeled building to include: prominent front entrance, 3-stop elevator, new west stairway & staff offices, women’s & men’s bathrooms, and an upper level multi-use room with deck. Phase 2 construction begins in May 2025 with anticipated completion in early fall 2025. Warmer weather is necessary to remove and replace the defective foundation.

NOTE: Current projections do not require additional funds at this time.  However, if you are able to make your 2025 ALL IN donations in the first half of the year, please do so.

We ask that you continue to hold fast to our vision of a beautiful, fully accessible building that will not only be a joy for us to gather in but will be an inspirational space for generations to come. We are in the home stretch!

FAQ

 1) Why do we need to renovate our facility? 
Our facility is the face of our community and needs to support our vision of a transformed world and our mission of being a vibrant, welcoming, inclusive, and prosperous spiritual community that inspires full expression of the Divine within. Our building must be accessible for everyone throughout.

2) How long will congregants and staff need to meet in temporary quarters while construction takes place? Where will we meet during construction?
We expect Sunday, Saturday and weeknight activities to be held in our Phase 1 renovation beginning in June 2025. We will be fully returned to our new space in early fall 2025. Until then, we are blessed that Robbinsdale Parkway United Church of Christ has invited us to share their beautiful space.  It’s a quick 3.5 mile drive to their church at 4200 Lake Road in Robbinsdale, MN.

3) How can I donate to support our facilities transformation?
Please let us know that your financial gift is for the ALL IN Campaign. You’ll find easy on- line giving at our website (click here). Be sure to designate the gift to the “ALL IN Campaign”. Drop a gift in the offering, in the church office, or send it in the mail. And there may be tax advantages to donating stock, property, etc. If over the age of 72, you can use your required minimum distribution. Consult your tax advisor.

4) Is this the right time for the project with uncertainty in many areas (COVID, decline in church attendance, inflation, recession, war)?
The world is in a time of transformation and Unity is a sacred space for anyone seeking spiritual transformation. A renovated building provides a welcoming, attractive, practical, accessible space for all to come and be uplifted, renewed, and centered in Spirit, especially during these times.

Divine Spirit has revealed through the collective consciousness of Unity Minneapolis a mission that we continue to grow into.  The momentum to accomplish this goal is rooted in prayer and connection to Source. We invite you to join us there.
