The beavercreek Years

1992-2010

The History of Patterson Park Church

On Thursday evening, June 22, 1989 our Building Committee first met to begin planning for our new facility. Since that time, many people in our church family have been involved in this strategic project. A major step was taken in November 1989, when we purchased 13 acres of land at 3655 E. Patterson Road in Beavercreek for $406,250. The land was dedicated to the Lord's use at a ground-breaking ceremony held on a cold, overcast afternoon on Sunday, March 24, 1991.
The building construction was started in August 1991 and was completed in September,1992.  The 32,500 square-foot facility is accompanied by a 300-car parking area and an outbuilding for storage and grounds maintenance equipment.  A canopied drop off area is provided at the main entrance on the west side of the building.

The main entrance opens into the foyer, which contains the Welcome Center and joins Family Life Center and the two-story Christian Education (CE) wing.

The Family Life Center, with its 32' vaulted ceiling, provides flexible seating for up to 800 people attending worship services or other occasions. Banquet seating at round tables complements the kitchen which has a serving window opening into the banquet area. Athletic carpeting is striped for AWANA club activities and basketball. The configuration of the risers in the chancel area is flexible, providing for conventional worship services as well as musical and dramatic presentations. A 16-scene programmable lighting system and a 24 channel stereo sound system complete the area.

The CE wing contains from 19 to 32 classrooms, including 3 nurseries, depending on configuration provided by folding partitions. There is an elevator at the north end of this area and restrooms at the south end on both floors.

A 1,795 square foot area in the north end of the first floor houses the offices for the church staff, a conference room and work areas for assembling materials.
Provisions have been made for future expansions for Christian Education and a sanctuary.
