Oakhurst Presbyterian is in the midst of a capital campaign. The following improvements to the Oakhust building have been completed:
- Air-conditioned the sanctuary and fellowship hall
- Installed an elevator so that the sanctuary is handicapped accessible
- Installed new doors near the elevator so that wheelchairs can more easily enter the building
- Built a new women’s restroom
- Rennovated the men’s restroom
According to a story in an Atlanta newspaper, "Attendance used to drop 15 percent in the summer," says the Rev. Nibs Stroupe, "but since we got air conditioning in the church, attendance is down only 10 percent." - Atlanta Journal-Constitution, July 25, 2007
The church has a loan of $200,000 from the denomination to pay for the renovations. The campaign began in March 2006 and the goal is to pay off the loan by mid-2009. Through March 2008, $177,490 has been contributed. We need $7,156 to be contributed each month.
