Campaign 2000
Pillsbury Crisis Care Center Pillsbury Crisis Care CenterThe campus plan includes construction of a new facility for the very successful Carol Pillsbury Crisis Care Center. Through the Crisis Care Center, MBCH is prepared and equipped to respond with as little as a few hours notice to provide shelter for children ages 6-14 who require immediate out-of-home placement. This new facility was completed and dedicated in April of 2002. It is currently in full operation, providing care for 20 children. Even though this building is
completed, memorial naming opportunities at all levels are available
in this beautiful facility. Please call 1-800-264-6224 or e-mail
development@mbch.org to find out how you can memorialize or pay
tribute to a loved one with a naming opportunity in the Pillsbury
Crisis Care Building. Spiritual Life/Learning Center
The second major facility to be funded through “Campaign 2000” is a spiritual life/multi-purpose learning center that will provide a focus for the Christian program that lies at the very heart of Missouri Baptist Children’s Home. It will also offer meeting and classroom space for residents and their families. It will provide a beautiful location for training foster and adoptive parents to care for the needs of children in Christian homes. Naming opportunities are available to memorialize
or pay tribute to a loved one or special person in your life. This
could be a family member, pastor, church staff member, etc. Please
call 1-800-264-6224 or e-mail
development@mbch.org to find out how you can memorialize or pay
tribute to a loved one with a naming opportunity in the Spiritual
Life/Learning Center. Plaza/Campus Development
When Missouri Baptist Children’s Home first moved to “Pattonville” in 1906, St. Charles Rock Road was simply a roadbed that had been plowed, filled with crushed rock and sand and then rolled. In the last 95 years, the “Rock Road” has become such a busy multi-lane thoroughfare that major changes to the campus are necessary. The Missouri Department of Transportation is currently widening the Rock Road, which makes the campus development plans of MBCH even more timely. The old narrow semi-circular entrance no longer serves the needs of MBCH. Clients and guests alike find it difficult to locate the entrance and even more difficult to exit the campus onto the busy highway. Parking has long been a problem, which will only be increased with the addition of a new Spiritual Life/Learning Center. Security features such as fencing and better lighting have become even more important as the surrounding area has developed. A key element of Campaign 2000 is the Plaza and Campus Development project. The Plaza, which will be located between the Spiritual Life Center and the Blake Administration Building, will be a focal point for the Bridgeton Campus and offer a beautiful place for prayer and meditation. A new main entrance and 70-car parking lot will provide guests with easier access to the major “public” buildings. New wrought-iron fencing, lighting and other security features will enhance the safety of our children and staff. Naming opportunities are available to memorialize or pay tribute to a loved one or special person in your life. This could be a family member, pastor, church staff member, etc. Please call 1-800-264-6224 or e-mail development@mbch.org to find out how you can memorialize or pay tribute to a loved one with a naming opportunity in the Plaza. Paving a Pathway for Children
A major part of the new Spiritual Life Center project will be a beautiful Donor Plaza. This plaza will become the focus of prayer, meditation, reflection and campus activity. The Plaza will be constructed of granite pavers paying honor and tribute to individuals, churches and organizations who love children and support the ministries of MBCH. Each of these granite pavers will be engraved with a "love note" that will serve as a reminder that our children are loved. Every time a hurting child walks across the plaza, he/she will see that they are loved by thousands of people they will never even meet. There are several sizes of granite pavers available which provide ample opportunity for people of all financial means to be a part of this eternal memorial. A 4x8 paver (standard brick size) costs $100 and will accommodate 3 lines of up to 14 characters each. An 8x8 paver costs $250. There are also 3 different types of 18x18 pavers: standard is $500, pavers around the fountain are $750 and the "Cornerstone" pavers at each intersection are $1,000. Each of the 18x18 pavers and the 8x8 pavers accommodate up to 6 lines of 14 characters per line. Bricks and pavers can be engraved with 1) the name of the donor, 2) the name of a loved one you wish to honor or memorialize or 3) a scripture verse or reference. Download copy of Brick Order Form. Other memorials are also available around the Plaza and in the new Spiritual Life Center. For more information about available memorials or to speak to a Development Office to choose the specific location of your brick/paver, call 1-800-264-6224. |
