Building Team

start here

God has blessed Clemson Pres with remarkable property and facilities. They are beautiful, but more importantly, they help us carry out our calling and vision. Previous generations worked hard and gave sacrificially so we might enjoy and steward what we have today, and we are grateful.

At the same time, our buildings are no longer new. Our sanctuary building is now 20 years old, the education building is 28 years old, and the fellowship hall is 36 years old. Our buildings need repair and renovation. Beyond that, many of our spaces are full or don't meet the our current needs. Many of our ministries have reached the limits of what our current facilities can support.

Below are the updates on how we are moving through the process of addressing the needs of our facilities.

BUILDING TEAM UPDATES

May 2026
The CPC Building Team is tasked by our elders with developing plans, pricing, and priorities for much-needed renovations and expansion to meet the church’s current and future needs. We currently have three buildings and three houses on our property. These facilities are a blessing, but they provide insufficient space for several ministries, require urgent renovation and maintenance, and have limited accessibility.

The team welcomes your input and asks for prayer. Review the following summary of our facility needs and share your thoughts at buildingteam@clemsonpres.org.

Facilities Team Assessment

In 2025, the Session put together a team to assess our facilities both for their condition and use. They found that while the three buildings and three houses on our property are a blessing, they require urgent renovation and maintenance, provide insufficient space for several ministries, and have limited accessibility.

YOUTH MINISTRY NEEDS

  • Dedicated youth space for fellowship, teaching, and discipleship
  • Flexible rooms for small groups, large group meetings, and recreation
  • Dedicated storage and furnishings

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY NEEDS

  • Dedicated space for learning and play
  • Improved safety and engaging environments for learning

EDUCATION & MEETING NEEDS

  • Create flexible, mid-size classrooms (20-40 people, 600-900 sq ft) for Sunday School and ministry meetings
  • Equip rooms with technology to aid ministry

ACCESSIBILITY & SIGNAGE

  • Improve accessibility between floors to meet ADA requirements (elevator)
  • New interior and exterior signage
  • Need for additional parking

RESTROOM RENOVATIONS

  • Renovate campus bathrooms to meet ADA compliance and future needs
  • Updated lighting, ventilation, and finishes

OFFICE SPACE NEEDS

  • Additional offices for administrative and ministry staff
  • Centralized office layout to improve collaboration and workflow

CAMPUS CONDITION & RENOVATION NEEDS

  • Aging infrastructure and buildings require maintenance
  • Key Needs: worn-out flooring and walls; mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire alarm systems are nearing the end of life; inefficient layouts; deferred maintenance
  • New roofs needed for the Worship Center and Education Building
  • Worship Center and Fellowship Hall improvements to meet current and future needs
  • Update technology: aging speakers and outdated projection systems in the Worship Center and Fellowship Hall
Once the team finished their assessment, it was sent back to the Session, which then formed the Building Team to work with architects to find options, pricing, and timelines.
