What is a Campus Master Plan? A “Diagram for Growth” that recognizes the present and future needs of a Congregation, both tangible and intangible, and presents them in a comprehensive format that relates budget and schedule. This is a PLAN for how the property could/should be developed in the future. This plan is not a request for approval to construct.
