"The final design of each segment has been integrated very well with the primary structure, allowing us to maintain excellent architectural design. Thank you, Somerville."

Shepherd of the Bay Lutheran Church
We Rejoice in the Resurrection

A new 16,675-SF worship and educational facility, which is the culmination of the merger of two Lutheran congregations. The design incorporates a white, clapboard-sided exterior in the Door County architectural tradition, but houses a contemporary, non-traditional worship space that seats 400. The quaint porte cochere and bell tower makes this facility a memorable fixture on the bluff overlooking beautiful Ellison Bay. The master plan was developed over a decade ago and has recently undergone its 3rd phase of expansion.
