PROJECT OVERVIEW

Master Planning for Growth & Community Engagement

Expanding to Serve a Growing Congregation

As urban development expanded around its once-rural setting, Creekside Church sought to maximize its existing property while preparing for continued growth. Reinders + Associates Ltd. developed a comprehensive master plan, leading to two major expansions that increased the church’s capacity, functionality, and community impact.

A Dual Expansion for Worship & Ministry

This 30,000 sq. ft. expansion strategically added new spaces on both the west and east sides of the existing 700-seat worship facility:

  • West Expansion:
    • A new 300-seat West Auditorium accommodates overflow attendance with simulcast services from the Main Auditorium.
    • This flexible space also serves as a community venue for smaller gatherings, events, and worship sessions.
    • New library, green rooms, larger kitchen, and media rooms enhance the church’s operational capacity.
  • East Expansion:
    • A larger foyer/atrium area creates a welcoming and engaging space for congregation interaction.
    • A dedicated Children’s Ministry wing addresses the growing number of young families.
    • The Kindergarten to Grade 5 rooms, built into multi-purpose spaces, feature large windows, vibrant colors, integrated technology, and small performance stages, creating an engaging and dynamic learning environment.

A Church Designed for the Future

Creekside Church’s expansion ensures continued growth and enhanced ministry offerings, while maintaining strong community connections. The intentional, family-friendly design has been embraced by parents and members alike, reinforcing the church’s commitment to serving both its congregation and the surrounding Waterloo region.
