A contemporary in-the-round worship space with a vaulted roof that culminates to a clerestory above the altar. Extensive use of natural light and simple building organization are used as design elements to invite and gather the church community. The use of chairs, instead of pews, allows flexibility for various worship and community functions.

The church has a 700 seat sanctuary as well as an educational building and classroom additions.
