Mount Horeb United Methodist Church

New space enables celebration of church’s history and continued growth

Supreme Structures built a 2,753 sq ft addition and new bell tower for Mount Horeb United Methodist Church, creating a brighter, more welcoming entry and expanding gathering and program space for the congregation and community. The project blended new construction with the church’s existing architecture and restored the original bell to its permanent home in the new tower.
