The improvements to this repurposed church consisted of new carpet and wood flooring throughout the nave, construction of a new barrier-free, wood sanctuary platform located exactly in the center of the square nave, the rearrangement of 450 movable chairs in a concentric plan around the altar platform with spacing for persons with different abilities.
The program also included the relocation of the music ministry in front of a new reflective surface to enhance the sound and reduce reliance on electronic amplification, the construction of a new baptismal font allowing for ritual options including barrier-free access for persons with different abilities, new LED lighting throughout the worship space with programmable dimming controls, all newly painted surfaces including the cosmic theme on the ceiling, the installation of eight new icons of holy men and women chosen by the congregation, air conditioning throughout the worship space and a new barrier-free family restroom in an existing parlor near the entrance to the church.
