Additions & Renovations:
St. Andrew Lutheran Church
New Bern, NC
The congregation of St. Andrew Lutheran
Church in New Bern had grown significantly in
forty years, testing the capacity of its 1950s
sanctuary and adjoining classrooms and offices.
Our proposed new sanctuary would reach out
diagonally to the corner of the Neuse Blvd. site,
effectively burying the entrance in the center of
the expanded building; to mark the location of
the entrance we designed a cross-vaulted
pavilion whose shape mimicked that of the
sanctuary. A shouldered gable marks the
location of new classrooms along Neuse Blvd.,
and a hip-roofed wing on the south side of the
entry pavilion contains a new church office and
pastor's study.
Designed by Charles Francis and Diane Filipowicz under
the predecessor firm: Stephens & Francis
