Success Starting with a nub – the retooling of a 4,000 SF Baptist church – for an international evangelical ministry, SRS created an assemblage sevenfold larger: a 28,000 SF state-of-the-art complex designed to network hundreds of local congregants with services continents away.

The Church of God Ministry

Weston, FL

In 1972, The Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ originated in Colombia. Since then, this neo-Pentecostal movement has spread through more than 45 nations, claiming millions of followers. With headquarters in Bogota, Colombia, Madrid, Spain, and Miami, the church often purchases large properties - such as this three-acre site with an existing building - to serve hundreds of congregants and offer semi-annual baptisms. SRS' new Mediterranean-style structure complements the existing church and comprises a 6,000 SF sanctuary with double-volume ceilings; a complex panel-covered baptistery pool with ramps and walkways to locker rooms for changing; a giant multi-screen TV wall; administration areas; and social hall. Extreme “wet” challenges include safeguarding communications, electrical, and water systems inside the building; and conservation and soil preservation on the site, close to the Everglades.
