Located near the entry of Callaway Gardens, this peaceful site provided the inspiration for master planning the site. A 400 seat Worship Center sets the tone for further campus development through the use of natural materials of stone, concrete, wood, and glass. A contemporary interpretation of a traditional Catholic church is expressed with transepts on either side of the sanctuary. This feature is accentuated by an open cupola positioned over the sanctuary as a source of natural light. A large series of windows on the northern exposure of the nave merge the picturesque outdoor setting with the serenity of the interior space.
