Plainfield Christian Church
Plainfield, Indiana

In 1989, Akers Church Building Services, Inc. did a Facility Analysis/Feasibility Study (phase 1 services) for Plainfield Christian Church, and recommended that the church purchase the house and property next door and build a sanctuary addition to the existing building. However, the owners of the adjacent property did not wish to sell, so relocation became a necessity if the congregation was to continue to grow. A new, sixteen acre site was purchased, and because it was near the "Williamsburg in the Woods" sub-division, the church chose a colonial style for the new facility.

The new building houses a beautiful welcome/fellowship foyer, the new Sanctuary seating approximately 1,200 (800 on the main floor and 400 in the balcony), Administrative offices, classrooms, and Fellowship Hall for a congregation of 1,000 plus. The site is Master Planned for later addition of a Multi-Purpose Gymnasium building, with additional classrooms.
