Crossroads Church
This 7,000 SF renovation of Crossroads Church created a multi-purpose area, welcome center, youth area, kitchen upgrade and more intimate sanctuary. With COVID-19 limiting in-person services, WDS Works was able to close down the church and push up the timeline.

WDS Construction and its philanthropic division, WDS Works, worked with Crossroads Christian Reformed Church to modernize the Madison-based church. The renovation of more than 7,000 square feet of the 12,000-square-foot church converted its large sanctuary to a smaller, more intimate room for services with an accessible stage and updated nursery, kitchen, multi-purpose fellowship area, welcome center and youth area. Working with a committee of volunteers and volunteer subcontractors created a schedule that was difficult to manage. The church’s existing structure plans were not accurate, which caused several design changes after construction began. WDS filled in the sanctuary bowl-style seating with 30 inches of compacted gravel and blocks of structural foam to create a level concrete floor throughout the new sanctuary. New sanctuary wiring and controls were installed along with new drywall, existing walls, and patches and repairs throughout the building.
