The Phase I design of the Woodside Bible Master Plan takes advantage of the remarkable natural setting. The form of the building, a central core developed around the auditorium with radiating spokes forming the office and classroom wings, is designed to frame the views eastward towards both the natural wetlands and a pristine grove of 100-year old hardwood trees. This space in turn is intended to be a private courtyard and outdoor gathering area.

While primarily a two-story, masonry building, the dominant form on the exterior will be the auditorium which seats approximately 1,800 on the main level. It has a sloping, metal roof rising up to the highest point on the site, a 90-foot tower. Smaller mechanical and accessory spaces surround this primary element, thereby reducing the overall scale of the building and providing a more pedestrian character.

Internally, the worship space is designed in a fan-shape to maximize the acoustics, lighting and sight lines towards the stage. A state-of-the-art sound and lighting system is incorporated to provide the church with full capability for theatrical performances. The upper balcony level, provides upwards of 750 additional seats.

Culminating the work involved with the Phase I portion are the fellowship hall and gymnasium, with a commercial grade kitchen facility located between both for ease of access.

Future phasing options will include expansion of the office and educational environments, expansion of the recreation programs, and the addition of a senior residential housing component, bringing the total amount of proposed building space to 220,000 square feet.
