The Point Church
Downtown Campus

The Point Church is expanding to the heart of Downtown Charlottesville, Virginia in an effort to facilitate its community engagement efforts. This facility will kickstart their Hub and Academy programs, which aim to help the underserved communities in Charlottesville by providing a centralized resource for people from all walks of life in and around Charlottesville, regardless of their needs and their background.

Since one of our team members spent their childhood in poverty, the long term goals of this project were especially near and dear to our hearts.

The existing church building was completed in 1889, and we made every effort to honor the historic nature of the existing architecture while accommodating the modern-day functional requirements of The Point Church.

Still under construction, this project aims to be completed in mid-2025. Stay tuned for more updates, and check out the design below!

The Feature Wall

A striking feature wall serves as the focal point of the sanctuary, with bold illumination and enhanced paint colors to complement and enhance the beautiful, unique mezzanine trim and stained glass windows.

The Mezzanine

Dark colors diminish the mezzanine surroundings and bring the focus to the main stage. The restored, stained ceiling and black trusses make for a subtle design feature that doesn't distract from the stage when the lights are dimmed for a service.

The Bell Tower

Painted Stencils and new stained glass sconces play off the existing stained glass windows, and make the existing bell tower a prominent design feature. A tinted glass door offers a hint of the original, existing inner workings of the bell tower.

The Coffee

A new coffee service area has been seamlessly integrated into the entry corridor, for those who might need a little pick-me-up in the morning.

The Welcome

A new stained glass transom greets everyone who walks through the front doors, welcoming anyone from all walks of life.
