RO+A developed a Master Plan for First Church in 1998. In 2000 RO+A completed the renovation of the Sanctuary to make it more effective for worship and music, with a new worship center and seating plan, use of the balcony, improved acoustics, lighting and decoration. In 2018 we completed a renovation of the Parish House gathering space, kitchen and public accommodations to make it more welcoming, universally accessible and more effective community ministry space. This project also included the first phase of a sequence of exterior restoration projects to preserve and rejuvenate the historic building exterior.
