Taylor Brethren Church — Our Facilities Vision

Artist's rendering of the renovated Taylor Brethren Church front, with a new covered entry, porte cochere and landscaping — Artist's rendering of the proposed renovated church entrance at 710 Sloan Street.

This page shares the plans our church is considering for the future of our facilities. There are two possible projects: a renovation and addition to our church building, and a new outdoor pavilion. Scroll down to see the drawings for each.

These drawings are preliminary, prepared by Ward Architecture for the congregation to review. They are not final and may change as we gather input.
