Faith

As the project’s architect, we designed a major addition and renovation for Faith Christian Reformed Church that expanded the ministry’s capacity and modernized its gathering spaces. The project includes a new sanctuary and classroom/meeting room addition, anchored by an 888 seat worship space with a balcony, all constructed with a durable steel frame system. The existing sanctuary was thoughtfully converted into a new fellowship hall, complemented by a remodeled kitchen to support community events and church functions. The result is a cohesive, flexible campus that strengthens both worship and fellowship for the growing congregation.

As the project’s architect, we led a comprehensive sanctuary remodel and exterior enhancement for the Church of St. Mary, elevating both the liturgical environment and the building’s presence within the community. The renovation introduced a new reredos wall crafted from Vetter limestone, along with Italian granite elements for the pulpit and baptismal font, and stone flooring that frames the altar with a sense of permanence and reverence. Exterior improvements included the design of a new bell tower to house the historic statue of Mary and the original bell from St. Michael Catholic Elementary School, preserving important pieces of parish history. We also designed a new arcade at the front entry, creating a more welcoming and grand approach to the church. The result is a sanctuary and exterior expression that honors tradition while supporting the parish’s evolving worship needs.

As the project’s architect, we designed a new 45,000 square foot faith facility featuring an 800 seat sanctuary that replaced the congregation’s former building on a new site. The program includes a spacious fellowship hall, nursery, education wing, youth center for worship and music, and a full commercial kitchen, all constructed using durable pre cast concrete. OHA also designed the key liturgical elements—including the altar, lectern, and communion table—ensuring the worship environment is both spiritually grounded and architecturally cohesive.
