Bethel AME Church was in need for a new worship facility to serve both their congregation and the surrounding community. Lorenz Architecture teamed with Randolph & Son Builders for this project, and in an effort to meet the church's needs, the team proposed to build this facility via the design build method. The reasoning for this decision was it would reduce their costs and allow the church to occupy the new facility sooner. During the selection process the design-build team work closely developing elevations, floor plans, schedule, and budget estimates for the church. The new facility will include a large multi-purpose room to hold formal and informal worship services, community events, and other gatherings. It also has space for sunday school, administrative offices, and choral room.
