Description:
The design
of this facility is sleek, modern, and economical.
The sanctuary
is wrapped by a wooden arch construction and a
crown shaped skylight that showers the space with
light on all sides with walls consisting of split
face cmu on the interior and exterior. The circular
entrance lobby space is flanked by 50 seat chapel
and fellowship hall with commercial kitchen. The
central circulation has its own dynamic appeal,
bowing out as if to “breath in the word of
God”. The beacon Bell tower provides the
central axis from the street to the entrance welcoming
all who enter.
