Intentionally designed to not look like a traditional religious space, Eastview Christian church sits on a crest of hill among 95 acres of farmland. Beginning as a master plan and adding subsequent additions to address the growing congregation, the space now accommodates worship, teaching and recreation venues. 
When a church embarks on a new master plan, whether it is at an existing campus or a new location, you must have clearly defined priorities for where God is leading you and where you want to go.

- Mark Warren, Pastor of Guest Services, Eastview Christian Church

Sunday morning values, Saturday morning fun.

Responding to the need for more space for children and youth, the church embarked on an expansion project to address their growing needs. The addition and redesign of spaces for pre-school through senior high youth provided several age-appropriate worship spaces, a multi-court gymnasium with configurations for worship and sporting venues, and the renovation of an existing gym to address the church's much needed space for weddings. 

Details that make a difference.

  • Asymmetric layout and playful ceiling fixtures create an imaginative, non-denominational space for the community's youth. 

  • Multi-use space not only provides ample room for play, learning, and worship, but also allows for more effective supervision of children.
