The Grace Christian Church project consisted of taking an existing 111,000 square foot retail store and converting it into a church with three separate sanctuaries. In order to successfully do this, KIRCO MANIX removed the columns from the new sanctuary space and inserted trusses in order to achieve the open space concept without removing the roof. KIRCO MANIX also demolished and reconstructed the building’s entrance. Other features that were a part of the project included the cafe, a bookstore, and a mezzanine arcade with a gymnasium. In addition, church offices, classrooms and a nursery were built.
St. Sarkis Armenian Church
KIRCO MANIX built a new facility for St. Sarkis Armenian Church that blends traditional Armenian architectural elements with the functionality of a modern building. The project includes a sanctuary, kitchen, family life center, church offices, multipurpose space, and an open courtyard for gatherings.
Carefully crafted finishes and historical detailing reflect the congregation’s rich cultural heritage while providing a flexible, efficient space for worship and community activities.
