Purpose Driven Initiatives
A purpose-built wing for kids (birth–grade 5) is the centerpiece of the project. The space will have a distinctive look and feel from the rest of the church that speaks to kids through all of their senses. From the moment they spot it from the street to the moment they climb the stairs to their clubhouse classroom, kids will know that this is a place where they are loved and valued.
“Playful architecture in the kids’ wing will send a message to the community that this is THE PLACE for kids. And things only get cooler on the inside with treehouse classrooms, a learning lab and all kinds of unique touches that tell kids that Jesus sees them and loves them.”
—Doug Applegate
