Southmont Baptist Church
Denton, Texas

Kirkpatric Architecture Studio provided long range site development services, master planning, and architectural design services for Southmont Baptist Church. Built in two phases, this design provided necessary worship and educational space to establish the church's presence in Denton. In 1980, Kirkpatrick Architecture Studio designed the Fellowship Hall, which included classrooms and offices. Then in 1989, the Worship Center was completed, which included preschool classrooms, a nursery and sanctuary that Kirkpatrick Architecture Studio designed to blend with the existing Fellowship Hall. The sanctuary seats a congregation of 750 and minimizes the distance from pulpit to most distant pew with appropriate floor space to provide good lines of sight. Particular attention was given to interior surfaces and planes in order to best control acoustics. Received the Fort Worth Chapter AIA Design Award, 1981.
