Serving Northeastern Mississippi’s Baptist Community

Childcare is also available at this particular church building, and the congregation also uses the steel church for special events throughout the year.

Increasingly, religious organizations looking to erect affordable, attractive houses of worship are opting for steel church buildings, which typically cost far less than wood churches in terms of construction, erection and maintenance.

Building Specifications

Offering proof that today’s steel buildings have just as much interior and exterior appeal as wooden structures while requiring only a fraction of the upkeep, this pre-engineered metal church boasts a striking, traditional church design and stands 90’x130’x25’ in size. The exterior features a two-color brick-and-tan design, while the steel church’s roof is Spanish Gold in color and offers a 4:12 pitch.

The prefabricated metal church boasts a number of special accommodations and features, among them a 6” white eave gutter along two sides and 480 linear feet of 5” downspouts distributed across 22 locations. Together, these features help divert water and moisture away from the church and its foundation, which in turn helps prevent condensation and mold.

Additional accommodations made in consideration of the region’s building code requirements and typical weather and climate patterns include a 10-psf snow load and a 90-mph wind speed rating. The Golden area typically sees more annual rainfall than the average American city, and humidity, too, is often high throughout the region.
