Cedar Lodge is crucial to the delivery of WBC’s mission. It is the “nerve center” of WBC. These first three phases of remodeling address the most important issues that need to be met to serve people effectively in the years ahead.

• Restroom Additions: Restrooms are needed on the main floor of Cedar Lodge.
  In 2010, WBC is offering its first overnight camp for people with special needs.
  In addition, WBC is providing camps and retreats for people with terminal diseases, arthritis, aging issues, and young children. This improvement in Cedar Lodge needs to be addressed now as the needs of people require it.
• Expanded Kitchen: The demand on Food Service continues to grow to meet the unique needs of one centralized kitchen serving five separate dining areas. Sheer volume alone causes this kitchen expansion to take on huge importance. As the new streams of ministry flood WBC’s kitchen, the challenge of feeding increasing numbers of people with varied needs place this kitchen expansion as one of the top needs of the ministry. One example is the increase of meals just in the summer months from 80,000 in 2005 to 99,600 in 2008.
• Remodeled Chapel: Cedar Lodge Chapel needs to be expanded and reconfigured to meet the changing needs of camps, retreats, and conferences for today and tomorrow. The primary accomplishments of this will be:

  – Media friendly room configuration
  – Additional dining room space when needed
  – Expanded seating for conferences
  – Improved platform/stage area for ministry
