Never Say Die if You Don’t Like the Look of Your Building

The largest church in Greeley has experienced great growth. We added a new youth area, classrooms, and a covered drop-off area a few years ago. At that time the church recognized their desire to creatively enlarge their sanctuary, realign the existing seating, and change the look of the street presence of their concrete ribbed building, called “the whale” by locals.

Lee Architects accomplished all of this and more in the renovations. The worship center seating grew from 650 to 1,000. In the new sweeping welcome center, the 7,000 sq ft space reframes the entry into the worship center. It contains a new coffee shop, bookstore, and gathering areas.

Take a look at the transforming photos of the exterior and worship center. This project received the Excellence in Community Design Award from the City of Greeley.
