Christ Community Church’s Downtown Campus serves the Crossroads District, the center of the arts community in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. The church is an intergenerational collection of individuals and families from different communities, purposed for the flourishing of downtown KC.
Over the past several years, the church has accomplished its ministry out of a leased facility. As the church outgrew their space, they began searching for a facility they could own and that would better accommodate their immediate and future needs. After researching several different options, the church identified a two-story, 20,000-square-foot building located at 208 West 19th St. in Kansas City, Missouri, as a potential new home.
Conceptual drawings were developed to test the transformability of the subject property and its suitability for supporting the church’s mission and vision.
The church reached out to Mantel Teter to assist in developing a clear understanding of its ministry as it affected attendance metrics and space needs requirements. Emphasis was placed on creating a dynamic, experimental gathering space where art, artists, and audiences merge.
Conceptual drawings were developed to test the transformability of the subject property and its suitability for supporting the church’s mission and vision, prior to purchasing the property. The result is a collection of unique environments that provide real opportunities to connect and converse about the intersection between art and the gospel.
