Project information

The first True Jesus Church was founded in 1917 in Beijing, China. The early workers began preaching to every province of China. As a part of their growing national presence, True Jesus Church in Houston has established itself in the Stafford area and has a growing congregation in need of more support facilities.

 

The concept for a New Fellowship Hall began with the church’s increasing congregation outgrowing the current building and establishing a plan for the future.. The New Fellowship Hall makes room for future member growth, giving the church hope for a bright future and the ability to expand and serve member needs. Many of the current families are young and have growing families themselves, so the need for added classrooms, a large dining area, a new kitchen that will be able to serve a considerable amount of people, extra showers, and a space for pastors to sleep in accommodate that growth and need.

 

JMB2 and TJC collaborated closely with the City of Stafford, civil engineers and landscape architects to ensure the building and site will work together appropriately and be appositive addition not only to TJC, but to the city as well.. The expansion of True Jesus Church maximizes the current site and will allow its congregation to thrive and give them the proper venue for worship for many years to come.
