Front Entry - The brick building with the white steeple is the face of this church to the town, where it sits directly across from the Washington County Courthouse.
As Is Offices and Foyer Floor Plan - Currently the church offices occupy the eastern side of the sanctuary building. They are each painted and furnished to reflect the individual using them while coordinating with the color scheme provided by the carpet of red violet, cobalt, and oatmeal.
Church Foyer /Hallway/Sanctuary Renovation - The foyer developed over time as the church extended its building. There were three different types of flooring and gold bubble glass windows and lighting. We replaced the flooring with carpet which continued into the sanctuary, hallway and offices as well. We painted the walls and ceiling. We replaced the old, dim lighting with new chandeliers on separate switching to accommodate different needs in lighting. We also began renovating the offices for a more comfortable, updated look.
As Is Sanctuary Building Floor Plan - The sanctuary is carpeted in a loop carpet of red violet, cobalt blue, and oatmeal. There are five wood arches spaced from one side of the pews to the other with a center aisle. The current offices occupy the space to the east of the sanctuary. The renovation will include moving those offices and replacing the space with nurseries, providing a safe place for the children's care near the parents.
Proposed Nurseries Floor Plan - The renovated plan includes tearing down some walls and extending others to create two spaces for the children, depending upon their age. The open space connecting the nurseries and the foyer is planned to be a cafe where attendees can order coffee and baked goods as they mingle with their friends.

First Baptist Church

“Love God, Love People, Make Disciples, Following Jesus”
The building committee consistently seeks ways to improve the facility in order to follow that mission statement. We have renovated the foyer, which led to the sanctuary and offices. Currently, we are in the process of moving our babies and toddlers into the main building and providing a coffee fellowship space for our adults. Creating a universally-designed space becomes very important when working with this diverse group of people.
