DIFFERENT APPROACHES
A. LONG TERM – Consider this the solution to our building needs and just call Ironton our permanent home.
B. SHORT TERM – Purchase and use it while we continue to look for a permanent place. This would allow for only minimal improvements.
C. EXPERIMENT – Purchase the building and just see how it works out for 5 years (or so).
D. INVESTMENT – Allow a member to purchase the building and rent it back to the church at $400 per month.
