Project Details
The focal point of this project is a large group gathering space that accommodates 450-500 people offering a beautiful view of Spider Lake. The amphitheater was designed in a ‘C’-shape configuration which allows connections to be made across the space. The key objectives of the project include: to hear the Lord’s Word and worship Him in His Creation, with songs of praise offered in the round, using the site to optimize acoustics, while touching the site gently. The amphitheater was built using natural and sustainably-harvested materials utilizing a stepping scheme which follows the terrain.
