This was a "father and son" project that Jon Moore had the honor of designing along side his father, the prominent architect Jason Moore.

St. Paul Lutheran Church was designed for a congregation of approximately 1,500 members and was based on a triangular plan inspired by the "Trinity". The sanctuary area was planned as a "theatre in the round" with the altar in the centroid and audience on each side. The choir and organ loft are on the second level on the third side of the triangle, again facing the altar.

The structue of the building is very unique - it is the first structure in the Southwest to incorporate post-tensioned laminated wood beams to span approximately 80 feet.

The classroom building is a simple two-story rectangular brick structure to accommodate the sloping site and includes a small fellowship hall. The next phase of expansion will include a larger fellowship hall and classroom expansion.
