Worship Center
Work on this highly anticipated worship center was
begun following extensive research and travel by a sanctuary study committee.
The resulting building contains a variety of spaces that can accomodate
an even larger variety of functions. The lower level is 20,4000 square feet
of adult education, worship and the arts, and administration spaces. The main
level is 23,900 square feet of gathering, meeting, and worship spaces. Included
are a 100 seat chapel, a "Hall of Ministries," and a flexible meeting/classroom
area that doubles as a dressing room for the bride's party. The worship space
seats six hundred on the main floor. A 5,700 square foot balcony provides
another three hundred seats. With a large and open chancel/stage and integrated
audio, video, and lighting systems, the facility accomodates traditional and
contemporary worship events, as well as a variety of appropriate performance types.

Following a detailed master plan, this first phase fellowship hall stands on a 14-acre site
in the growing university area. The plan arranges support spaces around a light-filled centrum adding to the flexible
nature of the space. The use of white brick and an 80-foot bell tower give the facility a unique identity allowing it
to attain landmark status.
