Calvary Chapel

Challenge

Calvary Chapel in Emmett envisioned a new campus to serve as the heart of its congregation while expanding its role in the community. The program needed to accommodate worship services, a K–6 school, daycare, and flexible civic functions - all within budgetary constraints requiring a facility that could grow with the congregation over time.

Solution

The design centers around a multipurpose worship hall enclosed with CMU construction for durability and longevity. Supporting spaces including classrooms, daycare, and offices are planned with efficient metal stud framing to balance cost and function. The design provides a clear focal point for the congregation with a strong entry presence and symbolic architectural elements. Budget constraints required the program to be reduced in scale, ensuring feasibility while retaining the essential vision.

Completed in collaboration with Tamarack Grove Engineering.

Result

A flexible, resilient community hub that balances worship, education, and civic engagement. The project reflects the congregation's aspirations while providing a practical framework to support both spiritual and community life for generations to come.
