Haikey Park Baptist Church Broken Arrow, OK

Haikey Park Baptist Church currently resides in a facility of about 9,500 square feet, which includes a sanctuary that seats about 150 and an educational wing. They have a very small fellowship area that can seat approximately 75 people.  In 2006 their most immediate need was for more parking, more fellowship space and more restroom facilities. RW Bright Architects, Inc. designed a master plan that would meet its most immediate needs first, then additional needs for more parking and educational space.

Their site presented several challenges. First, the southernmost portion of the site was in a flood plain, reducing their useful acreage from 5 acres to about 3.4 acres. Second, severe topography would require a significant cut and fill for any addition that would be made. Third, the existing sanctuary was not designed for expansion, requiring a major renovation to add worship seating. Their existing maximum capacity was about 150.

Phase 1 This phase will include the addition of a Fellowship Room that will seat about 300 at round tables and about 500 at rectangular tables. The addition will also include large restrooms, a large vestibule and hallway, and a commercial kitchen. The existing educational wing will be remodeled to create a secure area for young children, and the existing fellowship area will be converted to adult classrooms. A parking addition will increase their parking spaces from 66 to 127. Phase 1 will increase the church capacity to about 245.

Phase 2 This phase will increase sanctuary seating from the existing 150 to 328, and will add educational space that will increase Sunday School capacity to 209 (not including use of the fellowship room as a classroom). Parking capacity will be increased to a total of 205, effectively increasing the church capacity to about 410.
