Sallisaw First Baptist Church Sallisaw, OK

Sallisaw First Baptist Church owns nearly all of an entire city block in downtown Sallisaw.  In 2004, the church contracted with RW Bright Architects, Inc. to conduct a study and to design a Master Plan that would allow the church to continue to grow while staying in their existing location.

The Master Plan calls for the original sanctuary, built in the 1920’s, and an educational building, built in the 1980’s, to be saved. Two other buildings that are located between these two buildings are slated to be demolished to allow for a new addition.

The Master Plan was developed to allow the congregation to grow to as many as 700 on this site. The first phase of construction will demolish the two buildings and to construct a multipurpose building and nursery space in its place. This phase is designed to accept a second floor addition, which will provide more adult classroom space. The existing educational building will be remodeled to convert the existing fellowship hall into a youth center, upgrade the children’s Sunday School space, and to provide additional office space.

Phase 1 – Multi-Purpose Building – 9,394 sf

Final Phases – Total Addition, First Floor – 19,228 sf; Total Addition, Second Floor – 8,211 sf.
