This phase I facility for Grace United Methodist Church is comprised of numerous multipurpose areas, a music department, staff offices, a large foyer and Sunday School classrooms.

The largest multipurpose room is designed to accommodate 1,000 in worship, and will ultimately serve as a fellowship dining hall for 600.

The master plan includes additional educational and recreational facilities, as well as a dramatic sanctuary that seats 2,500.

This project was the merger of two distinct congregations, one a mature traditional church with extensive resources and a new, young and vibrant  congregation with limited resources but ownership of a choice piece of property.

Therefore material and design considerations for the facility address both the traditional and contemporary philosophies of this blended congregation’s mission.
