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, 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.

During the workshop, you will take a virtual tour of our campus and learn how each of our buildings is currently used, deferred maintenance issues, and the potential to upgrade or redevelop that building. You also will be invited to share ideas on how each space could best serve our current and future needs. We are excited to learn about the ideas, concerns, and questions you and other members of this congregation will share. Your participation will aid the OSF team in its work to find the best option for our Hillcrest area campus and home. Please bring your love for the church, an open mind, and your hopes and dreams for our future. Workshop Registration |
