A TRANSFORMATIVE PROCESS
In partnership with a leading worship-and-community architect, we have arrived at a vision for space planning that speaks to our community. As we gut the existing building and embark on construction, we will be blending the legacy of our historic faith, even as a particular church body for nearly 150 years in Greenville, and our calling as community-builders.
Places for Gathering
- Expansive, open lobby with open access to outdoor green space, a kitchen, and public restrooms, designed to host a wide range of community events, from concerts to farmer’s markets to job fairs
- Main Worship Center that is also equipped with theater loading access behind the stage to facilitate other community uses outside of worship services
- Coffee shop with meeting space as a community commons
- Modern, connected Board Room for NGOs to use freely in pursuit of their mission
Places for Serving
- Logistics and storage area for our community clothing drives and homeless outreach efforts
- Two-car, in-ground oil change facility for single parents or people without resources
- Secure, extended-stay, temporary housing spaces for those with nowhere else to turn
Places for Connecting
- Greenville County Police annex that serves our neighboring school facility and increases security and monitoring for the facility and surrounding community
- Soccer field that supplements the community parks in the surrounding neighborhoods and provides space for underprivileged kids to engage in athletics Summer Camps
