Red Cedar Evangelical Free Church is unique in that it is a direct response to the current trend toward maga-churches. The goal here was to grow no larger than 250 parishioners at a worship service in order to maintain a strong, intimate fellowship. The property purchased by the church was approximately 12 acres and totally wooded.

Using alternative concepts as a tool to achieve a consensus in this small fellowship, a plan and building were defined. Phase I was constructed within one year of the plan's completion by a design-build company.
