Arborlawn United Methodist Church
Fort Worth, TX, United States
The merging of two Methodist congregations into a single fellowship provided the opportunity to create a new identity and plan for future growth. Working on the site of the former Overton Park United Methodist Church, the architects and planning committee for the new Arborlawn United Methodist Church were challenged by their pastor to create a facility that was not constrained by traditional Methodist aesthetics but instead was reflective of who they are as a fellowship.
The centerpiece is a new 1,110-seat sanctuary that is bright and airy with natural light brought onto the chancel by a tower element, while artificial lights and speakers are hidden from view. The choir loft is front-and-center, as is a 6,800-pipe organ. State-of-the-art acoustics have made the sanctuary the favored “community home” for the renowned Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra.
The former Overton Park sanctuary was converted into a two-level facility with a family life center and student ministries. A new 400-seat multipurpose, contemporary worship space was built into the old fellowship hall and is connected to the new sanctuary by a two-story concourse and gathering space. Adult classrooms have been added on two floors along with an outdoor amphitheater.
A new chapel incorporates stained glass windows from the former Westcliff United Methodist Church. The chapel differs stylistically from the sanctuary but the same attention was given to acoustics, with the smaller space in high demand for recitals and chamber music programs.
