Bethel Baptist Church was a growing church in the city of Chesapeake that was housed in a pre-1940’s brick structure. Barnes Design Group was commissioned to provide a new 600 seat sanctuary that would also house a large administrative wing on one side with a large daycare and nursery facility on the other. In order to keep the cost to a minimum, the challenge was to design a contemporary and progressive architecture that would utilize a pre-engineered metal building sub-structure.
