As Temple Baptist Church transitioned away from full-time elementary school programming, a comprehensive renovation and expansion redefined its role in the community. This transformation increased the facility from 10,000 to over 15,000 sq. ft., creating dynamic, purpose-built spaces for worship, ministry, and community engagement.

To keep the church operational throughout construction, the project was carefully executed in three phases:

• Phase 1: A new eastern wing introduced expanded office spaces, adult ministry meeting rooms, and a state-of-the-art youth area featuring a built-in stage, café, and lounge. The regenerated eastern façade, with pitched roofs, large windows, and modern materials, provided a fresh, welcoming presence to the neighborhood.
• Phase 2: A new main entrance, foyer, and children’s ministry area became the heart of the facility, with a seamless circulation design that fosters connection. Indoor and outdoor play areas highlight the church’s commitment to creating inspiring spaces for the next generation.
• Phase 3: The sanctuary expansion and family center addition transformed the worship experience. By replacing the existing sloped roof with a taller, flat roof system, sightlines and acoustics were dramatically improved, enhancing flexibility and engagement for congregants.

With a renewed focus on community, worship, and youth engagement, this revitalization ensures Temple Baptist Church remains a vibrant and welcoming space for generations to come. Thoughtful planning, collaboration, and design excellence were key to making this transformation a reality.
