The goal of the project, which was informed by an inclusive design workshop process with the congregation, was to add a new chapter to the church’s story: to maintain its sacred space; to make it more welcoming and accessible; and to foster social interaction after services. The sanctuary, as an example, was reconfigured to provide accessibility for the choir and to serve communion. Exterior pathways and terraces are now more accessible and make traveling between the church and the parish house easier. An elevator now connects the first and second floors of the parish house.

The project encompassed a larger narthex – or main entry vestibule, revised pew layout, restoration of the tripartite stained glass window at the rear of the chancel, and the addition of space behind the alter for a new grand organ and console. The parish house was redesigned to add more usable space without increasing its size and to make it more welcoming to all parishioners. The outdoor courtyard was redesigned to accommodate the entire congregation for outdoor events, such as weddings overlooking a nearby pond.
