Oswego Presbyterian Church
Oswego, Illinois
A significant expansion of a 1950s-era Presbyterian Church was undertaken to accommodate a growing congregation and enhance community, adding a new worship space designed to seat 450 people in a fan-shaped configuration.
Transformed Original Worship Area
The original worship area was reconfigured into a new entry and gathering area, and a dedicated choir rehearsal room. The removal of the balcony created a dramatic two-story space now housing a library and a meeting room, providing valuable additional facilities.
Expanded Facilities and Future Potential
The new 20,300-square-foot addition includes new classrooms for religious education and an unfinished basement for future development. The previous entry and library space were renovated to create new offices and meeting rooms, enhancing administrative functionality. This thoughtful redesign improved the church’s physical capacity and its ability to serve and engage its congregation more effectively.
