We had to expand our capabilities as well as our
vision for the future. Terri challenged us to stop
and rethink the way we do business. That's why
she's our Chief Visionary Ocer! How can we be
more e•ective and ecient in getting The WORD
out? The sta• can no longer fit in the headquarters
building. There are another 200-plus sta•
members in several locations around the campus.
How can we optimize every inch of our current
space and also plan for our continually expanding
vision and sta• ?
We purposed to make the simple repairs to the
least-a•ected side of the headquarters building.
Somehow, we managed to pack about two thirds
of the HQ sta• into that space. Hallways and
executive oces were filled with cubicles—and to
this day, no one complains!
While that was being done, our executive team
worked with a marvelous team of experts to
assess everything from oce procedures to
desk locations. The design team evaluated
workflow needs and space for our 50
departments. It took us a while to pray through,
think through and determine how the new
interior should function.
After nearly a year of in-depth studies and
department evaluations, the reengineering
process began.
The new design will take KCM, EMIC, KCBC
and VICTORY Channel well into the future.
During the remainder of 2021, the funds came
in to repair the campus utilities and all systems
essential to continue operations. But, of course,
this major renovation will take considerably
more finances than were received in 2021.
