A passage in Bethel writings expressed the power of symbolism to bind people together in experience and feeling. These words vividly illustrate history, community, and faith woven together into a meaningful tapestry. Our team translated this imagery into physical form, achieving a sculptural pattern language that occurs throughout the design, connecting space and telling a story of faith-based community. The majority of the remodel was completed in late 2017, marking the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther publishing the 95 Theses. This is commemorated in the 22-foot-tall sculpture located in the fellowship space and stands as a reminder of the interconnections we all share.
