What is the story of Quarry Community Church? The quarry is a perfect analogy of what the church should be. The quarry is a place where you seek to find rocks. The church is a place
where you seek to find lost people. The quarry is a place where rocks are formed, shapedand hewn for a specific purpose. The church is a place where new believers in Jesus Christ are mentored and discipled to become fully devoted followers of Christ. The quarry is a place where rocks are sent out to build something outside the walls of the quarry. The church is a place where people are built up to be sent out and minister wherever God has called them.
Quarry Community Church has been leasing space in a local school for 9 years. Needing a space to call their own, they decided to buy a vacant 30,000 square foot bowling alley facility. The facility would provide the church with room to grow, since not all the space would be needed initially. The church also has a strong missional value to be multi-site, so large amounts
of space are not necessary for them.
The design-build team led the church through a series of steps and processes to assess their health and readiness and affirm their DNA, while reinforcing the needs and prioritization of those needs within the established budget. The result was an 450 seat auditorium with children’s education space, office space, and a new fellowship foyer/third place to support community and connection. The auditorium is designed to be expandable, while other master plan features include additional education spaces and offices to keep the facility balanced as the church grows.
