We have retained Janson Adjusters to represent us with our insurance company.  Their goal is to maximize the insurance settlement in every category. 

We have retained Cotton Inc. to remove the water, soot, and debris in some areas that needed attention in order to facilitate the insurance claim.  This required removal of ceiling and drywall material to remediate the water, mold, smoke, and soot damage, etc.  

We have formed a Building Committee to focus on the details required to coordinate demolition, design, and construction.  No specific design direction has been determined at this point.  We need and appreciate the input and suggestions from our precious and valuable congregation.

We have had discussions with two architects who specialize in church builds and restorations.  We are impressed with them and have a meeting planned soon to discuss the project further.

As it relates to our building, there are parts that are damaged but are usable, but the majority of the building will need to be leveled.  There has been no definitive direction taken at this point to determine specifically what areas of the building will remain, and if so, what function they will have.

We need your prayers, input, and cooperation as we make this difficult journey together.  And again, we will do our best to keep you informed on a regular basis.  It is important to us as a congregation and to Marshall as a community to get this right not just for today….but for future generations.
