New Apostolic Church, Moraga
W.A. Rose Construction began working with Moraga’s New Apostolic Church in June 2019 for a fairly extensive remodel. We demolished existing bathrooms, the fireplace, chimney, interior surfaces and walls. All doors, windows and walkways, including the front entryway, were demolished, along with kitchen cabinets and counters.
Erosion control was an important part of the project
The project required installation of all new sewer lines, HVAC, electrical and plumbing throughout the facility, which includes the sanctuary, restrooms, meeting rooms,
kitchen and restrooms. The church is built against a Moraga hillside, so erosion control was an important part of the project–one rainy winter would create mudslide 
problems for these church congregants. Wattles were staked into place and a local tree company delivered wood chips for us to spread around. We also built a new retaining wall.
Not everything was new–the church’s interior cross remained, but was enhanced with LED lighting and stacked stone. The stunning ceiling was also part of the original structure. The newly remodeled church has a new patio and a larger parking lot to accommodate a growing congregation.

The Results
The results? The new church is warm and welcoming, sustainable and functional. The building’s footprint has expanded and is scalable if the membership grows. The entire facility is now ADA-accessible.
