A 10,000 s.f. gym and new classrooms offer spaces for the church's youth and children ministries.

This phase 1 project is part of a 110,000 s.f. master plan for the 40-acre site.
West Side Christian Church (WSCC) located in Springfield, IL, is a growing congregation looking to serve God and their community in bigger ways. WSCC worked with the religious design experts at BLDD to complete a master plan that facilitates their growth through the expansion of their Kids Ministry space, the creation of a new entryway, a large worship center, and environmental graphics to increase visibility and branding.
Central Christian Church needed additional space for an expanding daycare/day school program, additional office space, a new main entry, a parlor, additional fellowship area and handicapped accessibility of all areas. The new main entry is situated on the expanded parking area side of the site to more conveniently accommodate today’s congregation.
St. John's Lutheran Church in Bloomington, IL has a large building with multiple floor levels and entrances. BLDD was hired to create a master plan that would accommodate growth in their various kids ministries and worship services. After much collaboration, a two-phase plan was created to renovate the existing 10,000 sq. ft and create a 10,000 sq. ft addition.
