HOPE CULTURE CHURCH
ELGIN, ILLINOIS
The inspiration for this project was derived from a chosen Bible verse.
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.”
The proposed church building for Hope Culture church must serve not only the staff and employees, but rather, the community being served. Each design choice should reflect the beliefs of Hope Culture church to create a form and program that best serves diverse needs of the Elgin community.
-Matthew 25:35-36
