The sanctuary addition to Grace
Baptist Church is the result of a period of dynamic growth for a large
established congregation. The existing facility which seated approximately
650 was being utilized for three worship services each Sunday morning.
The new sanctuary provides a 2,200-seat facility including a choir area
for 200. Comprehensive state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems and
facilities for radio and television broadcast and recording were included
as a basic part of the initial phase. Large fellowship lobbies provide
a connection between the existing church facilities and the new sanctuary.
Covered entries and walkways are provided at both major entrances. Other
features include a choir rehearsal room, choir robing areas, an orchestra
practice room, baptistry dressing areas, a bride's room, and men's and
women's toilets. Additional parking was developed
on site to replace the parking areas taken by the development of the new
sanctuary, and to provide new parking spaces as well. An overall master
plan of the site was developed in anticipation of a future educational
addition and the development of larger parking areas.
