Church Building in LJUBLJANA
Since 1989, the site of Celovška 70 has been owned by church members and has been used to serve the Ljubljana community in a variety of capacities. In view of the changing needs of society, the various groups using the facility, and requirements of the local government, the old building must be removed and replaced with a purpose-built facility, as proposed.
Our primary purpose here is to present this project, and to encourage participation in joining together to complete this much-needed facility.
Multi-purpose ministry facility since 1989
The existing property was purchased in 1989, where an old farm house was renovated to serve the needs of the church. The church community has since outgrown the facility, and additional space is now required for all those who use it.
Why?
Because of town planning requirements the existing building had to be moved back 2.5 meters. Thus, there were only two options for expansion, either sell and relocate or to demolish and reconstruct a purpose build facility. The property is on a main artery to the city, all members wanted to stay on the existing location as a "central city" church. This location is strategic for the university students and schools. In addition to the planned expansion around us highlighted the significance of the present location.
Here we have prepared several materials to share the need for this ministry facility.
