A Light for Their Community

With space constraints hindering their community-centric mission, church leaders called Visioneering Studios to help Evangel continue to expand and inspire.

Visioneering Studios’ architectural design build approach expanded Evangel Church with a 1,500-seat worship center, children’s spaces, and a community-focused plaza.

The Opportunity

Evangel Church envisioned a new worship center, a redesigned children’s ministry space, and a grand outdoor plaza that would leave a lasting impression of light and hope for the community.

The Vision

As part of our unique Basecamp Experience, the Visioneering team spent time worshipping at Evangel to become more immersed in their vision. During the process, leaders revealed a goal of being “a light for their community.”

The Execution

With the creative inspiration in place, the team went to work designing and building a new 1,500 seat worship center, expanded preschool and kid’s ministry spaces, a 7-day a week coffee shop, and a plaza with entry tower that spills light out into the community. The plaza and tower draws in visitors, while a new wayfinding system guides first-time guests. Add in the warm fireplace and intentional gathering places in the lobby, and everyone feels welcome in Evangel’s new space.
