As construction gets under wayon an $8 million structure inValdosta, Ga., Pastor David

Rogers can’t help but recall Crosspointe Church’s modestbeginnings. When 13 adults and four children gathered inhis living room for services in September 2005, it markedthe beginning of the group’s search for a permanent home.

“By February 2006, we had moved into a warehouse wetransformed to a worship center and grew to about 350,”Rogers said. “From there, we acquired an old Winn-Dixieshopping center and transformed that space into a 1,000 seatworship center, and other multifunctional rooms, for familyministry.”

Currently, the church is renting an older building, with thelease set to expire in less than two years. The space is in con-

stant need of repairs, as well. “Although it has served its purpose, we have also out-

grown it,” said Rogers. “To be good stewards of what Godhas given us, we feel that we needed to make plans to moveinto a permanent building that we would own instead ofrenting, which is newer and more efficient, and that offersus the space we need to grow.”

Being built off Highway 41 North on Kings Way, thebuilding will include a sanctuary, 400-seat auditorium,classrooms and office space. Work on the new structurebegan in January 2016, with Studio 8 Design serving asproject architect, and Cauthan Construction Company Inc.overseeing construction.

CrossPointe holds two services on Sunday morning andhas launched another campus in Quitman, Ga. Reaction to

the new building has been extremely positive, according toRogers.

“I guess you could expect that from the staff and thechurch, but what has been truly incredible is seeing our com-munity get real excited about this project,” he said. “It hasbeen amazing.”

The church will be moving just a few miles away to anarea that is quickly growing, just north of its current location.

“Our vision is to be one church with multiple locations.One huge advantage is getting to take the church where thepeople live, work and play. But also, it’s a very cost-effectiveway of growing the church.”

Rogers said, “The new sanctuary will probably seataround 1,500 and will primarily be used as our worship cen-

ter and banquet room. The rest of the facili-ty will be used for children, youth and adultministries.”

Phase one will be approximately 50,000sq. ft. (4,645 sq m). The Family Life Center,which includes the children’s area, class-rooms and offices, will be two levels. Phasetwo calls for an additional 20,000 to 30,000sq. ft (1,858 sq m). Rogers said it was veryimportant for the building to feature a mod-ern design.

“I believe we are living in a very casualculture these days. Contemporary is in ourDNA. But we take very seriously disciple-ship and worship. Our goal in creating thisspace is to allow people to feel welcome andsafe, but also feel real and authentic.Authenticity is hugely important to us.”

CrossPointe Church held a groundbreak-ing ceremony for its new sanctuary inOctober 2015. The project is being fundedby gifts from church members and budgetedresources converted from renting to owning.

Currently, site work is taking place. BillHurley, superintendent/project manager ofCauthan Construction, said, “One of thebiggest challenges here on site is the time ofyear starting the job, which is the rainy sea-son. It’s rained pretty much every week, andthe wet and cold weather can hold you back.On top of that, we have had to do numerousproctors on dirt, due to several types of soilson this job.

“We’ve just completed 60 percent of thestorm pipe installation to the large pond,located in the northeast corner of the proper-ty. It will be ten feet deep and will maintaina five foot level even in the dry part of theyear.

The pond will help control flooding, inaddition to adding to the aesthetics of theproject.

“The pond will actually be stocked, sothat church members will have a place tocatch and release fish,” Hurley said. “Behindthe site is a bunch of wetlands, which wehave to keep in mind. You have to have a

retention pond to gather water and move itoff in a 24-hour period. Before, you reallydidn’t have to have a retention pond, butwe’ve covered up our planet with asphaltand concrete, and when this happens, rainruns off. So engineers have created pondsthat gather water that collects on site, and thewater can slowly be released into storm

drain systems and in rivers so its not a mas-sive situation and you don’t have floods.”

Hurley said prior to work beginning, offi-cials had to check the soil to make certain itwas adequate for the foundation and parkingareas.

“Unsuitable soil can’t be used under abuilding or when dealing with asphalt. Youhave to have the right compaction. If thematerial's not good enough, you have to haulit off.

“We are moving dirt to the different partsof the job site, to get ready for the under-ground utilities. In a few more weeks wewill be ready to start laying out the buildingslab. We have moved approximately 55cubic yards of material, including topsoil,which is stockpiled on site also. We havebeen able to use dirt/material on site to com-plete the job.”

Regarding underground utilities, crewsmust bore underneath the roads and tie inwater and sewer.

“This involves digging a pit. It can be a lit-tle extensive and will take several weeks.We’re still working on getting all the site tograde, so that you have the right depths whenthey come in to do the work,” Hurley said.

Heavy equipment currently being used onthe project includes a Cat 330 excavator, Catvibratory roller, Cat V6K dozer, Cat D5dozer, Cat 12 H motorgrader, a John Deeretractor with harrow, two John Deere back-hoes, a Komatsu 229 excavator and twoVolvo 25T off-road articulated trucks.

Contemporary Design Complements Modern Style Services “I am very proud to be a part of this

process,” said Hurley. “If you build thechurch right and put your heart into it, youdon’t have any problems returning once it’scomplete. Seeing your handiwork andcraftsmanship can be very rewarding. Youjust have to take things one step at a time,and surround yourself with good subcontrac-tors.”

Project architect Bruce Smith, AIA,Studio 8 Design, said, “The first impressionafter meeting the staff was that they wanteda more modern type of building for a moremodern style church service. We wanted toprovide a facility that allows the staff to meetthe needs of the youth, as well as the typicalexpectations of the older church members.”

Smith said having strong security in placefor the children’s drop-off and pick-up areawas a priority, along with staying within theproject’s spending guidelines.

“The budget is very tight for the amountof building needed, so we had to be very sen-sitive to project costs.”

Creating a casual atmosphere was also achallenge for the creative team.

“Unfortunately, it is difficult to capture

Sustainable Elements Prove Necessary Due to Budget what is traditionally considered a feel of reverence and provide a mod-ern contemporary look. The younger church members are not as con-cerned about the traditional feel of a facility. In this case, the moremodern, non-traditional look was the best solution for the church’sneeds,” Smith said.

The basic layout is one large single-story sanctuary building, a twostory educational building, and a common lobby/hallway buildingbetween the two buildings to allow good circulation, as well as fel-lowship among the congregation when transitioning to differentspaces. The main exterior building materials are metal roof panels,metal wall panels and some EIFS or stucco type finishes as accents onthe smaller building elements to contrast the larger metal panel build-ings.

Because the budget was limited, incorporating certain sustainableelements was not an option. However, the firm worked to provideeffective design decisions regarding solar gain and building orienta-tion, which did not have a significant impact on the budget. Having thestructure complement nearby buildings was also not an issue.

“This did not have a big impact on the design. The surrounding areais a wide mixture and variety of buildings, so there were a lot of archi-tectural languages that could be employed,” said Smith.

“I would hope that a visitor feels the excitement from the congre-gation, as well as from the new facility. I experienced this in their oldfacility, simply because of the approach the church uses in their min-istries. I was used to more traditional services, but was very impressedwith the non-traditional services provided. The new facility can onlymake the experience even better.”
