The existing church needed to double in size to accommodate a growing congregation - the church could not be easily extended so it was decided to build a new church and to re-use the original church as a space for children and performance. The minister, Gavin Millard, was an architect who was educated at Wits University in the 1980’s before entering the ministry. He was a great client as he understood our intentions and processes - not only was he a great facilitator but also added immeasurably to the process through wise counsel.
