First Baptist Church of El Reno

Client: First Baptist Church of El Reno

Location: El Reno, OK

Construction Type: Interior renovation

Project Description:

The church’s existing facility was comprised of an 80 year-old sanctuary and multiple additions. The facility had numerous maintenance and code violations and did not function well. The new building was designed around a 600-seat sanctuary, with classrooms radiating from the sanctuary. The classroom wings and fellowship hall were designed to expand for future growth. The aesthetics of the external facade was critical for the client—it needed to be carefully balanced to appeal to both young and old parishioners.
