The new 28,200-square-foot Living Word Family Church in Naples, Fla., houses a 580-seat sanctuary, children’s classrooms, nursery, youth sanctuary, coffee cafĂ© and an extensive lobby. The builder, Daniels & Daniels Construction, Broken Arrow, Okla., began work on the project in November 2008 and completed the project during spring 2010. Crafton Tull Sparks, Tulsa, Okla., was the architect.
The main framing structure is a Rigid Frame system from Varco Pruden Buildings, Memphis, Tenn. A combination of two Varco Pruden roof profiles, SSR and SLR, both in Cool Colonial Red, were selected for various portions of the building. The Panel Rib walls are covered with EIFS.
The sanctuaries have stadium seating, state-of- the-art sound, video and lighting. The exterior has three large towers, one of which has a steeple and cross in the center. A trellis that runs the entire length of the front of the church, as well as portions of the sides, offer an inviting gathering space.
