Planning for new or renovated church facilities can be both a welcome opportunity for innovative change and a daunting task! The uncertainty of making appropriate choices impacts every aspect from choosing a site, sizing a sanctuary or classroom, to selecting the correct seating and finishes that enhance the liturgical use without diminishing acoustical performance. These are the challenges. The opportunities are immense: revitalization of a congregation, reinvigoration of mission, rebirth of stewardship and perhaps most importantly, realization of a shared vision.

Embarking on this process with a talented knowledgeable team of architects with considerable experience will ease the fear and underscore the excitement inherent in the planning and construction process. We know how to help build consensus within their committee, their congregation and their governing bodies. Our team of designers lead the programming and design process, but rely extensively on full and active participation by the congregants, giving them ownership of the design. We encourage members to become deeply involved and share in crafting the vision. Our experts will guide the process with a gentle hand; yet help you make informed decisions throughout the process.
