Broken Arrow Church of Christ is a well-established congregation whose attendance has remained at a steady 900 for about 10 years. They have sufficient worship and educational space for current attendance, but lack sufficient fellowship space, office space and parking. They also want to grow to about 1,700 in attendance, so its existing structures are not large enough to accommodate that kind of growth. In addition, they plan to add a day school for ages ranging from birth through five-year olds.
Phase 1: A two-story fellowship building of about 45,000 square feet. This building will contain a large fellowship/recreational area that can be subdivided into meeting areas and classrooms with operable partitions. The first floor will also include a commercial kitchen, day school, and performance stage, and the second floor will include unfinished classrooms. A connecting corridor of about 2,000 square feet will be constructed to provide covered pedestrian traffic between the sanctuary and the fellowship building, eliminating traffic through the existing children’s classroom. A parking lot will also be constructed.
Phase 2: The unfinished classrooms at the second floor will be completed. Classes in the existing north wing will be moved to the new classrooms.
Phase 3: The north wing will be remodeled to provide the additional office space needed. An existing home on the church property will be removed so that an additional parking lot can be constructed in its place. A structure to contain an elevator and stairs will be added. Offices from the west wing will be moved into the new offices.
Phase 4: The west wing will be remodeled to provide a seminar center, a chapel and additional classrooms. A tract of land adjacent to the church property will be purchased or leased in order to construct more parking.
