During the past two years our Mission has been working with an architect to develop some designs for a simple but elegant church building and parish hall that can fit onto a larger city lot.  The plan was to provide very strong but inexpensive, building code- approved structures based on an older octagonal aspect of Russian Orthodox tradition.  We also wanted to consider the entire lot as a tapestry for beautification for the glory of God, not just the structures themselves.

The capacity of the Temple is estimated to be 25-30 people without "packing"; the price of the Temple, Parish Hall, and Landscaping is estimated to be $300,000-$400,000, depending on how elaborate the congregation chooses to be with furnishings and exterior plantings.
