Orangewood Church Expansion

Orangewood Church

For over 50 years, Orangewood Church has been a beacon of support and faith in the community. As it embraces a new era, the church expands its facilities to meet the growing needs of its ministries. The transformative project forges a vital connection between the church and Orangewood Christian School, creating a unified space that blends faith and education.

With enhanced accessibility, the design creates an inspiring environment where spiritual growth and academic excellence intersect. Spanning 64,300 square feet, the expansion features a sanctuary with seating for 814, a spacious public lobby, classrooms, administrative offices, and a dedicated youth ministry center. Orangewood’s enduring legacy is evident in this purpose-built space, designed to serve future generations as they gather, learn, and worship together.

Interconnected with the church, the new Orangewood Christian School houses collaborative classrooms, four science labs, and a media center. A 10,000 square foot athletic center anchors the first floor, while student ministry spaces above form a dynamic, layered hub for faith and learning. Renovations to existing areas add arts-focused facilities, including a cafeteria, choir and band rooms, and dedicated spaces for drama and visual arts, enriching the holistic educational experience.

The open lobby invites guests in, where the warmth of wooden ceiling details evokes a sense of natural elegance. Expansive windows flood the area with light, framing views of the surrounding landscape bringing the outside in. Modern modular seating invites connection and conversation while allowing adaptability through the free-flowing space.
The worship center balances purpose and aesthetics, featuring a spacious stage embraced by acoustical ceilings that enhance sound quality and engagement. Bi-level seating provides unobstructed sightlines and encouraging participation. Overhead mezzanine seating introduces a sculptural element to the interior, enhancing the sense of community while offering an elevated perspective of the stage.
Students are welcomed through a modern canopy framed by an expansive glass curtainwall, creating a connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
