First United Methodist Church

First United Methodist Church selected Horst Construction to build a 3-story Celebration Center. The addition was comprised of a multi-purpose room to accommodate a family life center, gymnasium, and worship space, as well as classrooms, a commercial kitchen, offices, and library. The project also included extensive renovation of the existing facility, which had experienced multiple additions since the church’s original constructed in 1893!

Features:

• Multi-purpose room - family life center, gymnasium, and worship space
• Classrooms
• Commercial Kitchen
• Offices
• Library

Challenges:

• The project was challenging due to a very tight urban site and the need to keep the building and parking operational throughout construction.
• The church continued operations of the preschool program and the church's full activity schedule throughout the 16-month project.
• Horst reconstructed the underground primary power supply while keeping the church operational.
