Abstract

Southport Presbyterian Church is a church in transition. "The increase in church membership dictated the expansion to a new facility. The broadening of church ministries corresponds with the increase in church membership; for instance, the private elementary school associated with the church has grown as a result of more space in the new facility. The first area of the church property developed was the recreational elements to share with the community. Currently, the building, parking lots, ball fields, and playground are the only elements on the site. There are many opportunities for the landscape. This project addresses the needs and dreams of Southport Presbyterian Church members in regard to ministry opportunities translated onto the landscape.
