New Song Community Church

Aurora, Illinois

A growing congregation, planted in 2000, now celebrates its long-held dream of a permanent home with a new 11,500 sq ft contemporary campus. This dedicated facility replaced their previous worship space in a local elementary school gymnasium, offering purpose-built versatility.

Versatile Spaces for Worship and Community

Designed with versatility in mind, the new building features a multi-purpose worship space, adaptable classrooms, and administrative offices. A dedicated gathering space fosters fellowship and social activities after services, strengthening community bonds.

Sustainable Design and Modern Aesthetics

Sustainability was a key design consideration. Exterior sunscreens reduce solar heat gain and glare, while rainwater runoff is filtered back into the soil through drainage basins. The use of local materials, such as insulated precast concrete wall panels, supports environmental responsibility. Colored glass blocks offer a modern, durable, and aesthetically appealing alternative to traditional stained glass, suitable for the building’s multi-use functionality, including occasional sporting events.
