In the afternoon of August 11, the Bedford property closed, and the PCG now owns the Rosemont Building. The keys, documents, etc. are being sent to me this week.
The buyer of the Pentecostal Church of God and Messenger College properties in Joplin has made a public statement and disclosed their plans for the property.
The General Council met August 16 to begin the decision-making process concerning the remodel of the Rosemont Building in Bedford. Next week, I will meet with contractors and work with the General Council to establish the budget and begin Phase 1-A of the remodel.
Messenger College is continuing to operate on the Joplin Campus as projected until May, 2012.
The purchase and closing of the Joplin property is slated between October 1 and November 10. All proceeds from the sale will be paid to the Pentecostal Church of God at that time.
Our hope is that we will begin the first phase of transitioning the headquarters in mid-October. On November 9, we plan to have the General Board present during our November meeting in Dallas (information is coming soon, awaiting General Council approval of everything) and on November 9, we will have the dedication ceremony for the new building.
The second phase of transition will hopefully occur before Thanksgiving.
The final transition phase will begin in December. We hope to close the Joplin headquarters on December 21st as the last day in the building and load all final FFE (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) the 22nd to the 23rd. We have bids and offers from trucking companies willing to donate to us and help.
We will transport the week of December 26th and begin final test phases that week. It is aggressive but we hope to reopen by January 9, 2012 in the new PCG headquarters – debt free!!
Please help us convey that this transition is massive and in spite of all we are doing, we will probably miss some communication, emails, phone calls, orders, etc. We have project management in place. Team communicators and I have spent hours in documentation of the details but in spite of all these efforts, we are human and limited in many ways in personnel and resources. We will give 100% of our best effort but we humbly ask for patience.
Updated details will be expressed weekly. Each Friday I will post on www.pcg.org as well as send emails to the General Board in an effort to maintain constant communication. I have had to be silent on specific information up to this point but praise God, that is changing soon!
I appreciate the opportunity to connect and communicate.
I look forward to seeing many of you in November.
Serving You For Him,
Charles Scott
General Bishop
