Community of Hope Methodist Church
Mansfield, Texas
Community of Hope Methodist Church in Mansfield, Texas, relied on Speed Fab-Crete as construction manager for the 2005 completion of a contemporary multi-purpose worship center in the first phase of a progressive master plan. With a windowless environment, the worship center below uses digital integration of sound, lighting and video to capture the praise service weekly.
With a windowless environment, the 18,300-square-foot worship center seats more than 300 on a stained concrete floor, below an exposed ceiling, and with emphasis on theater-type audio-visual capabilities. The facility also contains a warm, “living room-style” lobby, spacious kitchen with serving window to the fellowship room, eight large classrooms, some with toilets, and offices for the pastor and church staff.
Church owners wanted Speed Fab-Crete’s unique, 6-inch-thick, precast concrete walls to form the building for extra durability and low, long-term maintenance. This was an important design criterion because the facility serves as a major day-care facility during the week.
Speed Fab-Crete was a perfect fit for Community of Hope Methodist Church. Their leaders wanted to avoid having to "educate" a "traditional religious builder" of the unique needs of a progressive congregation.
Speed Fab-Crete is proud to be a founding member of ARBA (The Association of Religious Builders of America). ARBA has been a voice for religious builders and a resource for designing sacred places for nearly 55 years.
