Parkway Baptist Church
Location: Smyrna, Tennesse
Project Scope: New church construction
The Dow Smith team completed construction of this new, 14,761-square-foot church in Smyrna, Tennessee. The project included a new worship hall, consisting of clear span construction with wood accents, administrative offices and ministry education space. The site’s topography required extensive work, delaying construction and constricting the church’s budget. Luckily, our team was able to overcome these setbacks and the congregation was able to occupy the building in 10 months.
Twelve years ago, when Dow Smith’s son was playing football for Smyrna High School, they walked into an opposing team’s weight room and Dow was impressed by the facility and all of the things that were available to that team’s players. But he also had a chip on his shoulder because he didn’t understand why the athletes at Smyrna High didn’t have everything they needed to be successful.
