Lutheran Church of
St. Andrew Church

Summary

Building God’s Way partnered with Lutheran Church of St. Andrew to redesign an over-budget building project, delivering a cost-effective solution without compromising quality or ministry needs. The new facility centers around a distinctive 750-seat circular sanctuary designed to create an intimate worship environment with carefully planned acoustics, sight lines, and a platform surrounded by choir, baptistery, and leadership seating. The main floor also features a spacious multi-purpose lobby, nursery, and offices, while the second phase added a finished basement with dedicated youth ministry space and classrooms. The project received the LCEF Art & Architecture Award for Best Liturgical Architecture and a WFX Solomon Award for Best Church Architect.
