I decided to go in through a side door and figured if the layout was the same or similar as to what my old church was it would lead me to a back hallway. Luckily it did but I wasn't sure where exactly I was because it was just a decent length hallway with not much more than a bathroom in it and a small office area. I decided to just pass them because I didn't want to actually snoop around and look at documents I just wanted to explore. I finally found an entrance onto the stage of the main area where service is held and decided to cut through there. The place was huge, tons of rows of pews and even a second floor area where projectors and mic equipment was probably controlled.
I felt slightly uneasy being in such a big open area alone so I hurried out of there into the lobby area, and explored through the halls looking into rooms and finding myself near the children's area. The lobby area had a couple different computers that I assumed were used to check kids in, there was even a small area for elevators I wasn't about to use them though. I wasn't sure why at the time though but I had a bad feeling the noise from them wouldn't be good for me. I know why now though.
I decided to go into the children's area and explore it a bit since it was such a huge area, probably around the size of half a basketball court, behind the huge stage was a decently sized storage area that was extremely dark further into it. On either side were stairs that lead both down stairs and upstairs but I decided not to go up them, figuring it would just be more storage space or the way to a bell tower that was long unused. I decided to continue exploring the first floor before going downstairs and there wasn't much left, just another area with meeting rooms. I also found another bigger staircase that led down and it seemed to go straight into an open area so I followed it down. I didn't stay in that area long before going down a smaller set of stairs though since it was much the same as the upper area.
