Design

A simple, dignified plan.

We are working with a local engineering firm on a meeting hall that is not only adequate for our meetings, but also a basis for the church's communal activities beyond the homes of the saints.

The latest plans involve a single-level floor plan featuring:

  • A large meeting room seating approximately 250
  • Children's meeting rooms
  • Offices and fellowship rooms
  • A cafeteria opening to a patio overlooking Kemps Lake

Beyond local use by the saints in Virginia Beach, the church desires to offer this property as a place for blending with saints in nearby churches.

The site

1.7 acres on the lake.

5263 Greenwich Road, Virginia Beach, VA. Right off Interstate 64 and Interstate 264, central and accessible to the local saints and the nearby locality. The land overlooks Kemps Lake on the south, which the City of Virginia Beach is restoring and protecting.
