The first phase of this project was a 26,000 s.f.
facility that included a 450-seat Worship space,
Fellowship Hall, offices and classrooms. The building
incorporates a wonderful cross feature that surrounds
a baptismal font and extends vertically through the
Narthex roof. Future phases will include expansion
of the Worship area to 670-seat capacity, additional
classrooms and office space totaling approximately
16,500 s.f. of added space.

Church of St.
Joseph
Addition/Remodel
KJA’s relationship with St. Joseph’s
began back in 1988 with a Feasibility Study that
addressed the following specific needs: Handicapped
Accessibility; Remodeling, sub-dividing of the
existing Fellowship Hall to meet a need for additional
Classrooms and Meeting Rooms; and Excavation of
approximately 2,000 sq. ft. under the Sanctuary
and Narthex to provide additional Classrooms,
Nursery, Bride's Room, etc. Following completion
of that Study, an elevator was added.
Completed
in 2004, the most recent project is a beautiful
12,700 s.f. addition and 1,600 s.f. remodeling
project that houses the Parish offices, major
Gathering Space, Library, Nazareth Hall (social
hall), multi-use meeting rooms and classrooms.
Many beautiful accents from the existing building
were integrated in the addition including woodwork,
doors, brick, stonework, clay tile roof, etc.
