Gifford Hall Upgrade Project

Gifford Hall Upgrade Project

Gifford Hall is central to the heart of Crawford. It is where we gather for fellowship, engage in celebrations, and welcome our neighbors for community events. This summer we are taking on an upgrade project that includes replacing the windows for improved efficiency, improving the acoustics so we can better hear each other in there, adding technology that will enable new uses of the space, and adding energy efficient mini-splits to better heat the space in the winter and keep it cool in summer.

This project is an investment that will build on our history and prepare us for a future full of new possibilities, connection, comfort, and community. Click HERE for more details about this important project!
