Over the last several years, the church has accomplished its ministry out of a leased facility. As the church outgrew this space, they began searching for a facility that they could own and that would better accommodate their immediate and future needs. After researching several different options, the church identified a 2-story 20,000 square foot building located at 208 West 19th Street in Kansas City, Missouri as a potential new home.
The church reached out to Mantel Teter to assist in developing a clear understand their ministry, attendance metrics and space needs requirements. Emphasis was placed on creating a dynamic, experimental space gathering art, artists and audiences to engage and grow in deeper understanding of the human design and experience.
Conceptual drawings were developed to test the transformability of the subject property and its suitability for supporting the church’s mission and vision, prior to purchasing the property. The result is a collection of unique environments that provide great opportunities to connect and converse about the intersection between art and the gospel.
