Farmers Chapel
Farmers Chapel United Methodist Church
Indianola, Iowa
Client Challenge:
For a displaced congregation following the 2000 arson that destroyed the church’s 1890’s-era building, rebuild the church using a design reminiscent of the past; accommodate future needs; work within a limited budget.
SVPA Solution:
SVPA’s design echoed the original design and allowed for future additions. Recognizing the congregation’s significant loss, SVPA helped minimize costs by limiting the scope of construction administration. The one-level church today includes worship space, fellowship hall, children’s play/activity area, classrooms, office, kitchen and workroom.
Completion Date:
Fall, 2002
Project Size:
7,962 s.f.
Type of Delivery:
Design/Bid/Build
