Brad Athey, project designer, speaking on behalf of Mantel Teter at the Emanuel Lisk Center for Youth Development ribbon cutting ceremony.
Mantel Teter is proud to have contributed to the recently completed Emanuel Lisk Center for Youth Development, a significant new addition to Friendship Baptist Church. This 7,700-square-foot, one-story facility was thoughtfully designed to complement the church’s existing brick architecture while expanding opportunities for youth education, worship, and community engagement. The center features eight classrooms serving students from kindergarten through high school, flexible spaces for workshops and special events, and a 125-seat multimedia-enabled chapel with enhanced acoustics for worship services, weddings, and community gatherings. Connected to the existing church by an enclosed hallway, the new facility reflects the collaborative efforts of Mantel Teter, Kelly Construction Group, AVDOXA and the FBC Emanuel Lisk Project Committee to create a welcoming, adaptable space that will serve the congregation and broader community for years to come.
