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.

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.

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.
