There is a moment in every project where the drawings stop being drawings and start becoming something real—but that transition doesn't happen on its own.
From scheduling trades to sourcing materials, every decision was reviewed against the original design to make sure nothing was lost between the blueprint and the build.
This was our work with Friendship Baptist Church to ensure a successful outcome. The result is the new 7,750-square-foot Emanuel Lisk Center for Youth Development, thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the brick exterior of the existing church while creating new opportunities for worship, education, and community engagement.
The addition features eight new classrooms serving kindergarten through senior-high students, flexible learning and meeting spaces for workshops and conferences, three fully accessible restrooms, and a 125-seat multimedia-enabled chapel with enhanced acoustics and adaptable partition walls to support worship services, weddings, community events, and small-group gatherings.
What started as lines on a page became something you can walk through and be proud of—a space where children can learn, families can connect, and the community can gather for generations to come.
We're proud to have partnered with Friendship Baptist Church and Mantel Teter to bring this vision to life and help support the next generation through a facility designed for growth, learning, and fellowship.
