The project calls for converting the existing 10,000 sq. ft. church at the southeast corner of William St. and Jefferson Ave. into a family life center and the construction of a new 16,658 sq. ft. sanctuary.

The $2.8 million project is designed by HCO Architecture in a partnership with studio T3.
No information was available on when the project will complete.
