LaVergne First United Methodist Church
Location: LaVergne, Tennesse
Project Scope: New church addition and renovations
LaVergne First United Methodist Church is a multi-generational congregation having experienced immense growth over the last several years. It became unclear how best to serve their parishioners, so the church’s building committee sought the assistance of Dow Smith Company. Our team developed a master plan for the church, outlining phases of construction that included a new fellowship hall, sanctuary, as well as renovations of existing educational and administrative space. The project also included the conversion of the original fellowship hall into a foyer and welcome center for patrons. Despite the challenges associated with performing construction while the church remained open, our team was able to complete the project in nine months.
Did you know that disengaged employees cost the global economy $8.9 trillion every year? According to Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report, employee engagement plays a significant role in overall life experiences. When it comes to well-being items such as stress, anger, worry, and loneliness, being actively disengaged at work is the same as—or even worse than—being unemployed.
