Dedication Ceremony Held for Completed Bull Street Baptist Church Project

SAVANNAH, Ga. - March 23, 2021 - PRLog -- Bull Street Baptist Church held an open house and dedication ceremony marking the completion of the Beyond 2020 renovation project of the historic church. The 12-year, multi-phase master plan updated approximately 200,000 square feet in the three interconnecting buildings on the church's urban campus.

Felder & Associates, a distinguished and award-winning architecture firm in Savannah led the project, along with Brooks Construction Group and Home with Hart Construction as partners.

"Our commitment is to faithfully steward our resources to the glory of God and the good of our congregation in a way that fulfills our mission and blesses our city," said Pastor Calvin Fowler. "Our focus as a church is best summarized in our mission statement: 'Equipping people to know Christ and to tell of His amazing grace!' Every phase in this 12-year restoration project has kept this focus front and center."

Renovations to the original wood-framed 1880s building known as The Porch, where the church holds its college ministry program, include exterior upgrades, modernized kitchen and bath facilities, gallery space, a two-story porch and an elevator. Highlights include raised ceilings on the second floor and the restoration of the original interior doors and hardwood floors to seamlessly pair the historic and the modern.

Bull Street Baptist Church's Beyond 2020 plan also included modifying the 9,600 square-foot educational wing. The three-story Bauhaus-inspired structure built in 1953, was given an exterior refresh that complements the original style, along with new windows. Other areas improved include a new lobby and security checkpoint for the expanded nursery space, a recording studio and a music library. The educational building had its classrooms, restrooms and lighting updated. The exterior of the campus now has new lighting, fencing, landscaping and signage.

"It has been a professional honor to be a part of this project," said Brian Felder, principal owner of Felder & Associates. "We take great pride in our work on religious buildings and this one has been a labor of love."

"Pastor Fowler and the church's building committee had the vision to make this space elegant and functional and to also fit right here in the heart of Savannah to serve the church's mission. We couldn't be more pleased that Pastor Fowler and his team are satisfied with the results," added Gretchen Callejas, Felder & Associates project manager.
