More Information

The process of planning your building project can be a strengthening experience, focusing and galvanizing the congregation.  It can take place in an atmosphere where everyone contributes ideas.  The result can be better than anyone expected.

• Focus the discussion on ministry - what you want to accomplish, and how the building will help you accomplish it.

• Use worship, workshops, meetings, and informal conversations to identify the goals.

• Let your thinking expand and your horizons broaden.  A building is expensive and permanent.  You only get to design it once.

• Justify each design decision in terms of ministry goals and good stewardship.

• Use models and drawings to clearly communicate design ideas.  

• Ask for feedback and suggestions.  Listen to it.  Discuss it. Understand it.  Then incorporate it into the design.

• Get involved in the design process and take ownership of the design.

Designing a tool for ministry requires communication, empathy, knowledge, insight, cooperation.  It is more than just putting up a building.

Is this a process you'd like to use?  Call us!  We design building for churches.
