CTSM Architects - Current Projects

Asbury United Methodist Church, Youth Facility - Birmingham, AL

With continued success comes the need to expand facilities to accomodate the needs of their congregation and others to whom they minister.  That realization spurred Asbury UMC to partner with CTSM Architects, their Architect for more than 15 years, to develop a Youth Ministry facility.  This freestanding facility on the Asbury campus will enable an expansion of services as well as freeing up vital space within their existing facilities to expand their children's ministries.  Construction is scheduled to begin in 2009.

Alabama Baptist Children Homes - Oxford, AL

As the impact of their unique and necessary ministry spreads across the state, Alabama Baptist Children's Homes and Family Ministries has once again partnered with CTSM Architects to expand their facilities in the Oxford, Alabama area.  Adding a new office building that incorporates training and counseling services, ABCH continues to improve upon their ability to serve the unique needs of children in difficult home situations.  This new facility should begin construction this fall with a 2009 completion.

Cobb Theatres, Daytona Live! - Daytona, FL

In a unique opportunity to develop a multi-screen theatre near the Daytona Motor Speedway, Cobb Theatres with CTSM Architects has created an exciting new hybrid theatre/restaurant experience.  With 14 screens, six of which include premium seating accessible only from a second floor restaurant, this theatre offers a visual cornucopia of design features.  This project should get under construction this fall for a 2009 opening.

Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, New Entry Connector - Marietta, GA

Growth over the years created the need for multiple buildings, yet a cohesive method to join those buildings seemed elusive.  CTSM Architects teamed with Mt. Zion United Methodist Church to develop a unique connector that doubles as a main covered entry point.  This connector bridges buildings from multiple generations to become a single facility for Mt. Zion.  Creative use of space, ramps, an elevator and other techniques were used to transition from the multiple floor levels into a single main entrance point.  With this forward-looking design comes opportunities to continue their growth without the impedance of isolated structures.  The Church is looking forward to the completion of this timely project.

First Baptist Church Relocation - Columbus, MS

With a rich history in their downtown location, but basically landlocked from expanding, First Baptist Church of Columbus, Mississippi made the difficult decision that they should relocate.  Finding an opportune 80 acre site in a growing part of town, First Baptist partnered with CTSM Architects to design a phased project that allows them to relocate in the first phase.  Over time they will be able to grow substantially, yet still offer the many ministries and services they have in their original location.  As the design develops, that historic character will never be far away, as elements are now incorporated into their new facility.

Experiencing significant growth and desiring to increase the service available to their students, Samford University has embarked upon an ambitious program to more than double their current Student Center.  This project carries on the high quality they are known for as well as incorporating a unique one-stop location for all student services.  As the University and CTSM Architects develop this design for the maximum impact and exposure, the students will be the benefactors of an exciting new and highly service-oriented facility.

St. Michael The Archangel Catholic Church - Auburn, AL

Landlocked in their current location, St. Michael The Archangel Catholic Church took a bold step toward relocation.  Finding appropriate property along College Street just north of town, St. Michael's is poised to begin construction of their new facility.  With classic lines, yet a hint of contemporary aesthetic, CTSM Architects has designed their building to provide exciting new opportunities to minister to the students and other residents of Auburn, Alabama.

First Baptist Church - Enterprise, AL

Experiencing recent growth, many new families have chosen Enterprise, Alabama as their new home.  First Baptist Church is responding to this growth through the addition of a new Education Building to their campus.  A three-story structure, CTSM Architects has designed this facility to handle an expanded Preschool program as well as other Children's activities and ministries.  In addition, a new ministry opportunity includes a Family Theatre space designed for the 3rd floor that incorporates families in worship activities.  As they come out of the ground with this construction project, we see their vision blossom.

Lindsay Lane Baptist Church - Athens, AL

Located in a fast-growing area of north Alabama, Lindsay Lane Baptist Church has grown faster than their facilities could contain.  Their need for Children's Education space was critical, hence their latest project.  With two floors of space for Preschool and Elementary children, CTSM Architects has designed this new addition to provide much needed area in which to expand their ministries.  Now in the home stretch of construction, this project should begin service this school year to provide the relief they need during this period of incredible growth.
