At the heart of the project is a new 1,800 SF fellowship hall, created within the existing courtyard.

Tall windows and restored brick arches flood the room with natural light, blending old and new in a space designed for gathering, celebrating, and connecting.

The renovation extends beyond fellowship spaces. Office and meeting areas have been thoughtfully reconfigured to improve functionality for the church’s ministries, while finishes and details honor the building’s heritage.

Restoration of the exterior masonry, new stained-glass-inspired windows, a full mechanical system replacement, and the addition of fire protection ensure the building’s beauty and integrity will be sustained for generations to come.

This project weaves together architectural preservation with the creation of warm, flexible spaces where the congregation can grow together in community.
