St. Luke's Lutheran Church - Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania (PA)
After careful consideration, the congregation of St. Luke's decided to build a new church facility rather than expand their existing one. THP designed a new 10,000 sq.ft. facility as a two-story brick structure with special consideration to material and the incorporation of natural light. The building includes a Christian education area, a choir practice room, office areas and a multi-purpose assembly room with kitchen that has a capacity for 190 persons. The main Nave seats 238 people. Its design of wood and brick combined with natural light creates a simplicity and beauty for the religious space.

St. Thomas More RC Church - Allentown, Pennsylvania (PA)
The work at St. Thomas More's 12,731 sq. ft. sanctuary building involved a one-year, 3-stage development process. The 20-year old church building required a variety of work including roof replacement and interior refurbishing as well as more space for a rapidly growing parish and new liturgical considerations for worship and music. The first step was the addition of a daily worship chapel and new formal narthex. The second phase of development involved replacing the built-up and gravel roof with a new painted aluminum roofing system. Final development provided for entire refurbishing of the interior church areas from ceiling to pews and floor. Sacristy and reconciliation rooms were provided as well as a bell tower for the church plaza.
