Life.Church - Wallace Design Collective

From a two-car garage to a nationwide presence, Life.Church’s growth is supported by thoughtful design and spaces built for connection.

Life.Church began in 1996 with 40 congregants meeting in a two-car garage in Oklahoma City, equipped with little more than a borrowed overhead projector and two construction lights from Lowe’s. After merging with MetroChurch in 2001, Life.Church rapidly expanded into a multi-site evangelical church that now operates more than 40 campuses across the United States. Services are led by the senior pastor from the Edmond, Oklahoma, campus and broadcast to each location via video.

Wallace Design Collective has provided civil and structural engineering services for numerous Life.Church campuses, with single-story facilities ranging from 30,000 to 42,000 square feet. Each church includes a worship center, children’s area and dedicated staff, including a campus pastor and specialized ministry leaders. Our work has included new construction, additions and renovations in Arkansas, Florida, Kansas, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas.
