As Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary continues to grow, their existing chapel was inadequate to serve their student population.  With a multitude of event possibilities that attract hundreds of people, their old chapel was simply inadequate.  A larger capacity was needed.  Thus, Midwestern teamed with CTSM Architects to design a 1,000 seat Chapel.  In an effort to be good stewards of their funding, Midwestern also teamed with Builders for Christ, the largest Baptist volunteer construction mission group, to provide a large volunteer work force to help build their new chapel.  Now, the new chapel will be the focal point of the Midwestern campus.  With site construction beginning in March and volunteers arriving near the end of May, the new Chapel at Midwestern is on track for completion in the winter of 2011.  This new addition will be a welcome new and modern facility to compliment the historic buildings on campus.
