Shades Mountain Baptist Church, Birmingham, unveiled its nearly $12 million facility remodel Sept. 29. The project began in February and set about repurposing the church’s 30-year-old buildings to get more in line with the church’s mission for the future.
“We entitled this initiative ‘Next: The Time is now,’” Pastor Danny Wood said in a video on the church’s website, noting a building 30 years old naturally had repairs and updates that needed to be made.
But as they considered whether to make repairs or larger-scale renovations, they had “an opportunity to adjust the footprint within this facility that would put us in a better position to reach not just this generation but then also the next generation,” Wood said.
As part of the building project, they increased the worship center’s flexibility, restructured the facility for better traffic flow and created a larger lobby and more common areas.
