Holy Temple Pentecostal Church

Instead of a new building, the congregation has invested in the reconstruction of a turn of the century commercial building into a new 8000 SF sanctuary and support spaces. Rebuilding the structure includes new columns, beams and shoring and repair of two massive parallel masonry walls which extend to frame an exterior gathering court and shaded garden. Reuse of the structure is indicative of our commitment to sustainable design via recycling, energy conservation, and solid waste reduction. Phase one has been completed; phase two is in fund raising.
