Back in the early nineties, we began our relationship with Bethel United Methodist Church, meeting and working with a vibrant and dynamic congregation who were looking to relocate their facilities to a newly purchased site just South of Atlanta. Although very traditional in their denominational ties and theory, the membership was generally young in age and sought a more contemporary atmosphere. A full site Masterplan was completed, with the Phase One development consisting of a new two-story facility of nearly 12,500 square feet to accommodate a contemporary style Worship for 500 attendees (with future expansion to 800), complete with the necessary Educational and Administrative space to work for the maintenance of a balance of ministries. By meeting with the various committees within the Church, we were able to understand them as a congregation, as well as, assist them in meeting their denominational requirements and approvals. Overall the final product is a unique structure with interesting plays on light and material to create interest and enhance a feeling of spirituality. This has been a very successful development for the Church, and the next phase is scheduled to begin soon. |
