The DiscipleLife Center for Mission at Briarwood

While the long-range site plan is under development, the vision is to develop the Quail Run Lodge into the Formation Center by expanding the current facility and adding additional state-of–the-art classrooms, meeting areas, and planning offices for staff.

The Quail Run Lodge will be renovated and expanded to hold up to 180 people in a classroom setting.  This training area will provide for video projection and internet conferencing so that events held at Briarwood can be streamed throughout the NT-NL mission territory for live distance learning.  In addition the Lodge will be developed as an indoor Worship Center, fulfilling a long-time dream for Briarwood’s spiritual care.

Adjacent to the lodge will be a second facility that will provide for one large classroom for up to 75 people or three small classrooms for up to 25 people in each.  Included in this separate building will be updated restroom and kitchen facilities to serve the needs of the Quail Run Training Center.

A separate new facility, perhaps at the site of the current nurse’s building, will provide offices for the Briarwood Staff and NT-NL Bishop’s leadership.  Sharing some staff and working together on Leadership Formation Training will provide savings in staff costs and synergy for development and use of the NT-NL DiscipleLife Center for Mission at Briarwood.

Perhaps a tower will be added, with a water feature, to add character to the Formation Center.  Note that drawings depicted here are subject to change or development over the next year as the long range site plan is finalized and construction drawings are developed.  It is anticipated that the NT-NL Mission Center at Briarwood will be concluded and ready for use in 2013 or 2014, as funds become available from DiscipleLife Alive.
