As shown, God has blessed Bethany with growth in attendance and ministries. Simultaneously, this growth has created a strain on our facilities, staff, volunteers and neighborhood as they accomodate five separate services.
Our new facilities have been designed to effectively serve both those who are presently attending Bethany and those who are not yet part of our community. Here are some of the features that will enhance everyoneÕs worship time and experience at Bethany:
|
600 seat worship area (6,500 sf), more than double our existing sanctuary, with multimedia, baptistery and a visually friendly balcony |
|
Foyer area (1,200 sf), triple the size of our existing foyer, enabling us to display art, ministry materials, and comfortably handle large groups of people |
|
Adult classrooms located above the sanctuary |
|
Choir and band practice space with room for growth and storage, adjacent to the Sanctuary |
|
Existing spaces will be transformed to meet needs for our growing ministries |
|
Outdoor terrace area extending off the foyer |
|
 |
|
Increased nursery and young child-care and sleeping and nursing space adjacent to the sanctuary |
|
Cry Room where parents can worship without fear of their children disrupting others |
|
Easier access for the elderly and disabled including an elevator, restrooms, and designated parking |
|
Prayer Room providing a private place to pray |
|
Energy efficient climate control in all new spaces |
|
Additional parking—36 spaces on-site and 56 spaces through a partnership with neighboring Daniel Bagley Elementary |
