Sanctuary
Project
“To live out the Gospel in Word and Deed with the hope that God will bring Healing, Renewal and Peace to Greater Baltimore and the Nations for His Glory."
When this property was purchased in 1989, visionary leaders and members who embodied this vision chose to delay construction of the Sanctuary in order to first build a facility for our Academy. Our worship services have been held in the gymnasium for 33 years. This Sanctuary will represent a visible and vital piece in fulfilling what we believe God has called us to be as 'salt and light' in our neighborhood, region, and world.
Our ministries are designed to care for people at every age and circumstance, including the curious, unchurched, and outwardly religious. A beautiful Sanctuary will serve as an invitation and testimony to the beauty and majesty of the God we worship in celebration each Sunday. We are so excited that the day to start construction has finally arrived, and we can’t wait to worship together in our new space.
On this page you will find different details related to how our weekly operations are affected by construction, general FAQs about the project itself, and updates as construction progresses.

FAQs
What will parking look like?
1
Starting May 4th, 2026, our Upper Parking Lot will be completely closed off, as well as a few spots in the lower lot. This will all be very clearly marked by construction fencing and gates. We will have signage directing you towards the main entrance throughout the parking lot. We have added a large amount of accessible parking spaces, these will be clearly indicated by signs as well. The below picture shows the blocked off construction area, general parking, accessible parking, and the new main entrance.
Where is the main entrance?

Our main entrance during construction is marked by a green star on the image below. You can also enter at the upper entrance (marked by another star).
What exactly are we building?

Chapelgate is building a Sanctuary with a seating capacity for 700-750 people. This long-awaited structure will provide a designated place of worship, as well as a more beautiful presence and witness to our community. The new building will include a beautiful spacious lobby, new office and multipurpose rooms, new bathrooms, and a cry room. We are also so excited to be building a new nursery space to minister to our growing number of young families.
What Is the construction timeline?

Our construction company, Plano Coudon, believes that it will be a year-and-a-half long project.
