The Multi-purpose building, or first phase of the campus was named "Best Church Design" at the 2010 Worship Facilities Conference and Expo in Atlanta, GA. Both the completed Multi-Purpose building and the Lodge planned for the new campus of the Gathering Church are designed with a rustic, yet contemporary feel.  The use of stucco, stone, and cast stone for the exteriors of the two facilities accomplishes this criterion. The theme is carried out inside the Multi-Purpose Building by the use of large open spaces for worship and fellowship. The large dining area in the Lodge, with a massive fireplace as the focal point, further complements the theme.

The interiors of both buildings feature tongue and grooved wooden ceilings.  The use of large glass curtain walls brings the outdoors inside the buildings, further enhancing the atmosphere.
