# 220 Emerald Church Hosting Preparation 2026

## Objective
Prepare the 220 Emerald property to host church events by aligning with the Elders on support needs and executing facility improvements for:
- Main house church room
- Barn gathering area

## Current Priorities
- [ ] Meet with Elders to confirm vision, expected attendance, and support model.
- [ ] Define scope and budget for AC in:
  - [ ] Main house church room
  - [ ] Barn
- [ ] Build phased plan for barn upgrades:
  - [ ] Carpet/flooring requirements
  - [ ] Potential window additions
  - [ ] Bathroom feasibility (plumbing, permits, cost)

## Workstreams

### 1) Elder Alignment & Ministry Support
- [ ] Confirm desired launch timeline for hosting events.
- [ ] Clarify church support (financial, volunteer labor, materials, technical).
- [ ] Agree on ministry use-cases (prayer nights, classes, youth, worship, meals).
- [ ] Identify point person(s) for recurring coordination.

### 2) AC Planning & Execution
- [ ] Request at least 2–3 quotes for main house room AC options.
- [ ] Request at least 2–3 quotes for barn AC options.
- [ ] Evaluate load sizing, insulation impact, and electrical readiness.
- [ ] Select vendor and schedule install windows.

### 3) Barn Buildout Discovery
- [ ] Carpet: material options, durability, and cleanability.
- [ ] Windows: daylight/ventilation goals + placement options.
- [ ] Bathrooms: number needed, plumbing route, septic/sewer implications, permit path.
- [ ] Produce rough order-of-magnitude budget and implementation phases.

## Suggested Phases
- **Phase 1 (Immediate):** Elder alignment + AC scoping + rough budget.
- **Phase 2 (Short Term):** AC installation in priority spaces.
- **Phase 3 (Mid Term):** Barn interior improvements (carpet/windows).
- **Phase 4 (Longer Term):** Bathroom project execution.

## Key Open Questions
- [ ] Target date for first church event at 220 Emerald?
- [ ] Typical and max attendance?
- [ ] Available church budget or reimbursement model?
- [ ] Permit constraints for barn modifications and bathrooms?

## Next Action
- [ ] Send Elder outreach email and request planning meeting.
