First Assembly Worship Center

Church
Written By Brian Van Winkle

Las Cruces First Assembly's Worship Center is specially designed to resonate with our modern culture. Instead of a dedicated use “sanctuary” we created a truly “multi-purpose” facility that can transform on a daily basis to meet various ministry needs and serve the larger community. The project fits into an overall masterplan that we designed to support their multi-year strategic plan. Enhancing ministry to our current culture demands social space that supports relationships and invites participation. Our design features a modern concourse that unites the congregation with one continuous and spacious circulation path.
