After experiencing tremendous growth following their addition of a new Children's wing and new Fellowship Hall, CTSM Architects has once again teamed up with First Baptist Church in Statesboro, GA as they undertake a monumental challenge in building a new Sanctuary.  Clearly God has moved within the congregation as the pledges to build this project enabled them to follow through with construction on this 1200+ seat sanctuary.  On the ground floor below the sanctuary, plans include a new music suite to further enhance their worship team.  The upper level includes a balcony with audio, video and multi-media stations and a baptistry level with full dressing rooms.  The recent completion of their new sanctuary enables First Baptist to continue growing and praising the Savior.
