Point Washington United Methodist ChurchFacility Maintenance Supervisor
Jul. 2021 - Jul. 2023Santa Rosa Beach, FLTwo wonderful years of serving a very dear congregation of exceptional people by maintaining facilities for a location both historic and modern. The chapel dates back to 1893 and is still in use today. Over time, the campus has slowly expanded to provide a home to growing local ministries. By the time I arrived in 2021, there was a fellowship hall, a modernized office area, and a preschool. The facilities were also used to host a medical clinic serving the local area. Across the street was a 16,000 square foot, multi-use facility including classrooms, a gym, a stage, and a commercial-grade kitchen. I was responsible for all sorts of hands-on maintenance - plumbing repairs, small carpentry projects, pressure washing, pump repairs, etc. Also, I interfaced with specialty vendors who took care of fire prevention systems, painting, grounds maintenance, and other contracted services. I worked in coordination with the pastor, staff, trustees, and church members to understand and meet the needs of the church buildings, grounds, and vehicles on a day to day basis and for years to come. Some of the greater challenges we met were completing a reserve study and navigating the changing insurance landscape in Florida. We also completed a remodeling project.
