The challenge to the sanctuary design was to create an area of worship that could efficiently grow as the congregation grew.
The solution allows the seating capacity to double from 300 to 625 seats without building any more sanctuary in the future. The key to the expanded seating rests in the creation of stadium style seating built in along both outer sides of the sanctuary. The stadium areas connect the future balcony to the sanctuary forward apse.




The balcony and stadium-style seating will be constructed with minimal disruption to the weekly Sunday usage of the sanctuary.

Other features of the building design include the use of acoustically treated ceiling panels that assists in providing the desired acoustical quality level. The use of perimeter clerestory window along the entire perimeter of the upper sanctuary ceiling allows the natural daylight to compliment the dynamic spatial quality of the sanctuary volume.
