As a leading Lafayette church architect, A Beazley Architecture is proud to partner with Harvest Community Church in Lafayette, Louisiana, on the transformative Nehemiah Project. This ambitious renovation converts a former 12,500-square-foot Winn-Dixie supermarket—located directly across from the church’s existing sanctuary—into a vibrant, contemporary 15,000-square-foot community and worship center.

The growing congregation had outgrown its current space, prompting this strategic expansion to better serve families, youth, and the broader Acadiana community. Our design delivers a modern church facility that blends innovative architecture with practical, faith-centered functionality.

Key Features of the Renovated Facility Include:

  • A welcoming sanctuary seating 300–350 worshippers
  • Dedicated nursery and classrooms for children through 5th grade
  • A warm café space for fellowship and connection
  • Modern administrative offices and a versatile multipurpose room
  • A standout youth sports ministry wing featuring a full-size indoor basketball court with bleachers, concession area, and workout room—promoting spiritual growth alongside physical activity

The project gives the dated structure a complete contemporary facelift, creating inviting, light-filled spaces that reflect Harvest Community Church’s mission of building community and faith. From programming and design through construction documents, our team focused on energy-efficient materials, flexible layouts, and a timeless aesthetic that will serve the congregation for years to come.
