According to Bishop Miller, “We designed our new facility with glass walls in front to allow us to be as transparent as possible to the people in the Vero Beach community. Thoughtful use of spaces both inside and outside of the Church will allow us to better enrich the lives of our members and groups using our complex.”

Designed by the architectural firm of Reardin & Carroll, the Church’s Worship Center interior features massive supporting wood laminate arching pillars, a large stained glass window above the altar designed by Pickel Studios of Vero Beach and congregation seating for up to 400. The Proctor Construction Company of Vero Beach has been the general contractor for the Christ Church complex.

On the north side of the Church are located the 9.23 Community Center and a dedicated Teen Center. The 9.23 Community Center annually hosts over 500 community events by organizations such as Scouts and the Coast Guard Auxiliary. The Teen Center, with both indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi-equipped recreation areas, will provide a safe after-school gathering place for teens.

The Church’s Education Wing on the south side, in addition to the regular children’s Sunday School, provides a weekday mom’s morning out program called Teaching Our Toddlers Spiritually (TOTS).

A Memorial Garden with walking paths and benches for meditation and reflection is located between two lakes on the south side of the property.
