Project Description: Our New Building
The easternmost building is a three story church structure that includes a 450-seat sanctuary, fellowship hall, classrooms, and office space. Across an alley, which bisects the site, is a four-story parking structure with one floor of urban outreach space at street level.
Exterior materials of the church building are brick and hammered titanium, and the prominent feature of the sanctuary building is a large cross on the south facade. Two entrances serve the church facility - one on Denny Way adjacent to the offices and Fellowship Hall, the second on Warren Avenue North, which is the primary entrance for the sanctuary level.
The building's worship space will feature a 29-foot-tall wooden ceiling on a steel superstructure. Walls will be of textured plaster, and two large stained-glass windows will help identify the spaces as our spiritual home. The sanctuary includes a combination of pews and chairs with about 100 seats in a second-floor balcony.
The adjacent parking structure will contain approximately 120 parking spaces, while its first floor, with direct access to Denny Way, will have approximately 7,200 square feet of human service delivery space for our congregation's urban outreach ministry to homeless and underserved people in our new neighborhood.
The building is the first new church built in downtown Seattle in over 40 years. We hope it will serve our community well over the coming century.
