Go? Stay? Redevelop/Share?
|
One of the congregation’s Developmental Goals is to decide whether to remain in our Hillcrest campus or sell the property and relocate. OSF Steering Team members include: Dave Hunt (leader), Rev. Justine Sullivan, Travis Anderson, Kathleen Brand, Lolly Brown, Craig Darling, Robie Evans, Andy French, Lawrence Hess, Steve Howard, Kara Johnson, Armin Kuhlman, Karen Lamphere, Bryan Lane, Sarah Ormond, and Carolyn Woodbury.
Our Sustainable Future Team has carefully reviewed volumes of data and facts regarding the well-being and future of First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego’s campus. We have unanimously agreed to focus our continuing research on two options: 1) sharing all or part of our current campus with development partners, or 2) selling the entire campus and relocating. These two options, and their potential variations, represent the team's collective opinion that a third option of remaining on the current campus without changes is unwise and financially unsustainable. Once the OSF Team has completed its investigative process, including recommendation(s), a final decision through a vote of the congregation will be made at the direction of the church board. You are heartily invited to view the latest updates and provide your own ideas, suggestions, and other input using the form below. OSF Update After Hillcrest Campus Services Sunday, January 25, 2026 - Please Join Us!
The Our Sustainable Future (OSF) team will be presenting an update on our past year's work and our near term plans. The presentation will include updated assessments of the best options the OSF team is pursuing that will allow us to remain at our Hillcrest location as well as a summary of what we heard from the congregation in our recent Needs Assessment gatherings.
We will allow ample time for discussion and Q&A. There will be no issues which will need to be voted on at this meeting. All members and friends are invited to attend this important event.
