Facilities Management Committee

Most people don’t think about what it takes to keep a building running smoothly—until something goes wrong. Behind the scenes, the facilities management committee works to make sure everything stays safe, up to code, and functioning as it should.

A big part of that effort comes from Ken Kiriacopoulos, who puts in a tremendous amount of time coordinating repairs, staying on top of code requirements, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks. When everything is running well, it often goes unnoticed—but that’s exactly the goal.

Over the past few months, several projects have been completed, including snow and ice removal, refrigeration repairs, and gutter repairs from winter damage. Looking ahead, the concrete pad on the north side of the church will be repaired by BR Construction at no cost, and plans are in place to replace the front entrance door.

This work wouldn’t be possible without the help of volunteers. A big thank you to Alex Rosado, Erick and Theo Neely, Tommy Booras, Greg Perry, and Geof Whiteman for helping shovel ice after the winter storm. Another thank you to Andres and Megan Caban, along with their daughters Harper, Isla, and Lainy, for trimming and bagging hedge clippings. Thank you to Tom Minor’s continued support to facilities management.

Facilities management is truly a team effort. If you’d like to help, please reach out to Ken Kiriacopoulos at axehdl6usmcret@twc.com
