Woodlawn UMC, Replacement Facility - Birmingham, AL
On May 31, 2009, Woodlawn United Methodist Church saw a tragedy no one ever expects. Fire broke out during a Communion service causing immediate evacuation. First estabished in 1887, the Sanctuary that was built in 1909 represented a total loss of the historic church. While shaken by the fire, Woodlawn's spirit was not broken. They elected to team up with CTSM Architects who has partnered with a number of churches who had experienced tragedies. The result is a replacement facility that includes a new Sanctuary as well as an indoor basketball court, kitchen, classrooms, lunchroom and offices. They share some uses of the replacement building with Cornerstone Schools of Alabama. Consecrated for use as a Sanctuary on November 6, 2011, the new Woodlawn United Methodist Church building is ready to serve for another 100 years or more.
