Wildwood Presbyterian Church
18630 West Old Gages Lake Road • Wildwood, IL
 
 

Construction for this church was complete in 2007 for the new Wildwood Presbyterian Church, established in 1954 by 66 men and women to provide for the spiritual welfare of the community. With a growing membership of about 600, Wildwood commissioned RuckPate to work with the many ministries and church leadership to plan and design the church for a new site close by. The sanctuary seats 355, adjoining a large Narthex that serves as the gathering center of the church.

The building is specifically designed to adapt to a singular site. Natural lighting is provided through a combination of clerestory, artistic, and normal glazing. Expansion potential is identified as well as the ability to grow beyond initial site constrictions. The site design also promotes the natural environment.

Design Features:

•  Gymnasium/Fellowship Hall adjoins the
    Narthex.
•  Church offices offering secure and
   convenient access adjacent to the main
   entry
•  Dual corridors lead from the Narthex to    the Christian Education wing, creating a
   circular access to all functions.
•  A spacious Story Area which also serves as
   a queuing area for the weekly Pre-School
   program
•  The Narthex, as the heart of  the church,
   promotes fellowship for facility users
