Winner -

Wisconsin Society of Architects Honor Award.

"The architect has met the parishioners' needs quite well - both in terms of making intimate spaces, which is something they aimed for, and by preserving and actually elevating the elegance of this room....  A very simple and poetic gesture."

Focusing the minds of the congregation during worship may be another ministry goal.  Your building can help you accomplish this.

• Create a sense of transition between the sanctuary and the outside world.

• Arrange seating to heighten the experience of gathering and increase congregational participation.

• Use lighting to draw attention to the focal point.  Lighting can also enhance communication by modeling the speaker's face, making it easier to read expressions and make eye contact.

• Locate windows to avoid glare and distractions.

• Conceal clutter, such as heating grilles and audio equipment.

The space where you worship affects your worship.  Worship space can be designed to still and focus the minds of your congregation.
