Originally built in 1917; Fargo’s First Lutheran Church has served as a rock of solace, inspiration, spiritual training and community service for over a hundred years. In 2017, continued parish growth and a need to modernize its original facilities inspired Senior Pastor Corey Biertness and his dedicated assembly of pastors to initiate a fundraising drive which successfully provided the church with the means to undertake a much-needed expansion. Drawing assistance from its congregation for the expansion, First Lutheran enlisted Mike Wild, principal local architectural firm wild | crg, and Dallas Anderson, lead audio designer of Tricorne Audio, Inc., for facility design and A/V systems planning/integration. Art Phillips, another long-time member of the congregation and the owner of a successful local recording studio, recommended global architectural and acoustic design firm WSDG to handle the all-important acoustic considerations of the expansion in order to ensure improved speech intelligibility and live music performance clarity.
