Abundant Life Counseling Center recognizes the profound emotional and relational needs that individuals face daily. Their mission is to provide intentional, compassionate services to those in need and help them lead healthier, more fulfilling lives while offering a pathway to healing. Scripture provides insight into what it means to live abundantly, and they are committed to walking alongside those who seek change through a client-focused counseling approach.

This renovation project included the transformation of an 8,000 square foot, 2-story historic fire station that utilized horse-drawn fire engines. Key project features include a lobby, counseling offices, children’s ministry classrooms, and an outdoor courtyard/performance venue.

The exterior character of this historic Crossroads District building was maintained by retaining the existing masonry exterior facades and graffiti murals while incorporating several large window openings offering expansive views of the adjacent exterior courtyard and city skyline. The building interior features exposed existing masonry exterior walls, exposed wood structure, and exposed steel columns and beams.

Kansas City, Missouri based general contractor Pearce Construction and Mantel Teter were honored to partner with the church on this transformative facility improvement project.
