When New Life Christian Center outgrew its location in downtown Durham, the congregation engaged GS Architecture to design new facilities to meet its present and projected future space and ministry needs. Along with a traditional weekly calendar of worship, Christian education and fellowship, the church has an active television and media ministry.
Responding to congregation's expressed desire that their facilities reflect their emphasis on contemporary worship, GS Architecture executed a design that is non-traditional in architectural expression and detail. The first phase 14,000 square foot Ministry Center houses worship space, administrative offices, education spaces, and daycare facilities.
The second phase 21,000 square foot Family Life Center, includes a gymnasium, fitness center, bowling alley, game room, classrooms, offices, and snack bar as well as attendant toilet and storage facilities.
