ELIM PENTECOSTAL CHURCH

Chicago, Illinois

​

This three-story church will address the current and future needs of a growing congregation and community. The Church’s goal was to create a new symbol for their community. We responded with a dynamic contemporary design aesthetic that acts as an attractive symbol of the congregation’s strong spirit and traditions.
