Grace Bible Church purchased 30 acres of prime real estate adjacent to the entry highway into the ocean-front of Virginia Beach. The overall design was to embrace a striking and inviting architecture that would utilize glass, along the highway, to communicate a transparency of the ideology of the church. This provides a first time attendee the opportunity to look into the structure seeing the activity of the church prior to entering. The master planning included a youth facility as well as a large lobby entry space, Christian education and a 1500-seat sanctuary.
