QUESTIONS ANSWERED
How will this new ministry tool be used?
In this special edition of The Journal, you will find ministry activities and approaches that will be utilized in The Loft by everyone, from preschoolers to senior adults. For a short list, we see The Loft being used for Vacation Bible School, Mothers on Mission (MOMs), ladies’ Bible studies, men’s groups, Young Adult Live, College Ministry activities, Sunday School cookouts, connecting kids with Park Central residents for missions and ministry, and as an after-school hangout for youth, including academic tutoring, recreation, and just connecting with friends.
What architectural style will be used?
In forming the façade of this new facility, the architects knew they must reflect our present architectural beauty. Having previously and appropriately appointed our campus with Master Plan arches, arcades, stained glass, and rotunda, our architects knew fully well the rich history of architectural beauty on the First Baptist Church campus. The new facility is a beautiful blend of arches, cast stone, and green tile roofs that echoes the rich architectural style that is captured in both our sanctuary and Master Plan. At the same time, however, the new facility takes advantage of new construction methods and materials to create a beautiful blend of both traditional architectural appointments with up-to-date architectural trends to produce a building that will relate to all generations.
