Church Build Project – Part II: What Story is Your Building Telling?
In this second part of our Church Build Project series, you’ll discover the next vital step of planning your next new build/remodel project.
Every building tells a story. Why do we exist…as individuals, and as a church? Storytelling is visual, and your building is the medium – what does it say? It will either engage or detract from your intended mission/purpose.
We will discuss how using your facilities as the visual medium for telling your story (purpose) is vital to a successful ministry. Topics of discussion will include the importance of (1) designing to your marketplace, (2) creating clarity of purpose and (3) using vivid imagery – and revitalizing when necessary.
Takeaways include:
- How to identify, understand, and design to your marketplace
- How to create clarity of purpose for your mission with arch design
- How vivid imagery/arch design is used to revitalize as needed
