Project Background:
Waypoint Church in St. Charles, Missouri, has a mission of "Worship. Love. Go." This thriving community of faith wanted to adapt their church building to create a cohesive, effective, engaging ministry space that would allow their congregation to experience a deep and intimate connection with God and others.
Project Results:
Aspen partnered with Waypoint on an addition and renovation that aligns with their core values of relationships and missional living. A new front entrance with illuminated signage and canopy creates clear entry points into the building. The new, bright and welcoming central engagement area has clear signage and easily accessible restrooms, giving it crucial visual clarity. This space also features strategic connection zones, so people can have a quick 5-minute connection, or relax and stay awhile. The new coffee bar features abundant counter seating as well as various table groupings and seating options in the café.
New mid-sized flexible spaces that can hold up to 100 people were also added for training and special events. The improved kids and 'tween ministry spaces provide and maintain a safe and secure area where children can establish their faith. This new space features an indoor play space, consistent theming, clear wayfinding, and a safe and secure drop-off/pick-up point for families.
