KSBA Architects designed this worship space after the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey, which is considered to be the traditional model of classical Byzantine church architecture. The hemispherical dome symbolizes heaven, while the icon paintings filling the space, link the here and now to significant historical people and events. The architecture reflects the manifestation of God’s universe rather than his house. This 550-seat, 12,500 square foot cathedral and accompanying rectory completed the development of the site currently occupied by the church’s community center, which was completed eight years before. The bells, stained glass windows and other artifacts were reused from the old church to maintain a continuity of place. The project received an AIA Design Excellence Honor Award in 1994.
