We’re thrilled to share that White Stone Community Church has been worshipping in their new sanctuary since Mother’s Day — a milestone that marks the culmination of a truly transformative project.
This endeavor involved both a substantial remodel and a thoughtfully designed addition, totaling nearly 41,000 square feet. As architects, it was a privilege to partner with White Stone in reimagining their campus and crafting spaces that not only serve functional needs but also foster deeper community connection.
From the beginning, our design process was rooted in a shared vision: to create welcoming, purpose-driven environments that reflect the heart of the church. The result is a series of vibrant, engaging spaces, including:
• A new Sanctuary space, which doubled their seating capacity for meaningful worship experiences
• A large, light filled gathering space, designed for flexible use throughout the week
• A glass-enclosed entryway that offers a sense of openness and connection to the outdoors
• A warm and inviting café area, complete with high-top seating and communal tables to encourage gathering and conversation
• A playful, secure Kids Corner for families and young children
• A custom brick fireplace, featuring a hand-cut stone rendering of the church’s logo — a distinctive focal point that honors the church’s identity and heritage
Every detail — from material selections to spatial flow — was carefully considered to align with White Stone’s mission and enhance the overall experience for their members and guests.
We’re honored to have been a part of this journey and look forward to seeing how these new spaces support the church’s continued growth and impact.
