Childress & Cunningham facilitated an extensive programming and prioritizing process which included in depth input from various ministry teams. Through active listening and analysis Childress and Cunningham developed specific critical success factors and program requirements that guided the total design process. Phase 1 was developed to include a multi-purpose auditorium that will serve as an interim worship space until a new sanctuary is built in Phase 2. High ceilings with vaulted configuration add interest and sound attenuation to the auditorium and allow the space to function as a family life center and gymnasium in the future.
