The initial design goals were three-fold: First, develop a modern ministry space for students, while incorporating the hertiage of a 150+ year old existing campus. Second, provide for flexibility where spaces could serve a variety of users: Student Ministry, Adults, Conferences, etc. Third, connect with the surrounding community. In an effort to be relevant to a younger generation, thew new building was designed utilizing modern design forms of the main church campus. In order to connect the “new” with the “old,” building materials and design details from the existing campus (i.e. Brick, Cast Stone) where incorporated.
