Lorenz Architecture was commissioned in the Spring of 2009 to develop a master plan and design concept for Grace Lutheran Church in Concord. Grace Lutheran Church is one of the oldest congregations in the Logan Community. The existing sanctuary can be seen above right with the new addition rendered on the left side.

Since the congregation continues to grow, a larger fellowship hall, classrooms, and offices are needed. The addition incorporates a 300 seat fellowship hall on the main level and offices and classrooms on the lower level.

Lorenz was selected because of their reputation of creating thoughtful solutions for churches and their responsiveness and collaborative approach. The 10,000 SF addition has been designed to harmonize with the neighborhood.

As this Church’s mission and congregation grew, the need for a new worship center arose so they could continue to serve their community. After researching several local architectural firms, they selected Lorenz Architecture based on our past history with church buildings and track record of delivering projects within budget. Working closely with the building committee, the design for a new 9,000 SF sanctuary and 9,000 SF fellowship hall was developed that would serve their needs for today and allow them the ability to expand their facilities in the future. During construction, the design team monitored the construction process ensuring the building was built to the plans and to keep the project on schedule.

First Advent Church

Paul Lorenz served a project architect for this multi-purpose building addition for this growing church in Concord. The new facility is 15,000 SF and includes classrooms, open meeting spaces, and kitchen facilities. The most challenging part of this project was designing the exterior to match the existing sanctuary facility. The building committee wanted the new combined church to look like it was built at the same time.
