Phase I
We hired both civil engineering and architectural support in March, 2024. The entirety of this project would unfold in two construction phases.
Phase I begins with the preliminary readiness of the raw land (utilities, water, septic, parking and landscaping, etc.) followed by the construction of a 12,000 sq. ft. parish complex. The footprint will support a spacious fellowship hall, giving parishioners and the community ample space for weddings and group activities. It will also temporarily annex sufficient space within the fellowship hall for an interior chapel. In addition, classrooms and meeting spaces will be created to meet the needs of our faithful, clergy, and volunteers. Commencement date is the Autumn of 2025.
includes:
- temporary chapel with sanctuary, nave, narthex (3400 sq ft)
- fellowship hall (2700 sq ft)
- Kitchen (1200 sq ft)
- restrooms
- Classroom | bridal | conference room
- sidewalks, pavements
Classrooms and meeting rooms will meet the needs of our faithful, clergy, and volunteers. They will be used for parish lunches, church school, Parish Council meetings, and more.
Total Phase I footprint: 12,000 sq. ft.
phase II
Phase II
Phase II begins with the construction of a distinctly customized cruciform church with Sanctuary & Apse, Solea, Nave, and Narthex. The church will accommodate 300 people. The exterior will have a central peaked dome, arched windows, rafter tails, and gable brackets. The Byzantine interior contains arched ceilings, plastered walls, and, in time, colorful iconographic murals. Broad porches and a processional arcade will culminate at a central courtyard. Additionally, the parish complex will be modified with more classrooms and meeting spaces.
The interior chapel will be transitioned into one spacious fellowship hall. The estimated project cost is approximately $7,000,000. We will build from the heart, giving our utmost as a sweet-smelling offering to God, with prayers arising as incense.
includes:
- independent church with sanctuary & apse, vestries, solea, nave, narthex, porched entry and roofed arcade (to serve 300 people with 5000 sq ft)
parish complex expansion
- fellowship hall to accommodate 300 people (4500 sq ft)
- additional wings for porched front entry, and classrooms
- additional restrooms
- storage rooms, bridal room, library and bookstore
- additional sidewalks, pavements, roofed arcade and a central courtyard
Total Phase II footprint: 20,700 sq. ft.
