After several meetings with each ministry user group to establish their current and future needs along with their long term goals, a multi-phased master plan was developed that would satisfy the needs of Bettendorf Christian Church for the next ten to fifteen years.

BLDD designed a new facility to replace Bethany’s existing church and to provide much needed space for this growing congregation.

Geneseo First United Methodist Church asked BLDD to develop a master plan for its downtown location, which is adjacent to a residential area and the City Center. This challenging site included multiple city blocks and required building additions and renovations. In order to accomplish these goals, a phased master plan was created. This plan supports growth in all church ministry areas including: worship, gathering and christian education space for all age groups.
