Developing the environment in which people gather to worship week by week is challenging and also highly rewarding. Approaching the process in a spirit of unprejudiced inquiry and humility is key to ensuring that the right questions are asked, and the right information is gathered and translated into a physical structure that reflects your church's vision.
Since the needs of each congregation are different, a specific consulting process must be tailored to suit your church's needs. The process usually includes some or all of the following services:
· Visioning
· Defining ministry goals and objectives
· Analyzing existing facilities
· Preparing an architectural program
· Evaluating sites and land use options
· Conceptual schematic design
· Developing a master plan
· Conducting workshops
· Liturgical design consulting

Conducting Workshops
The liturgical renewal movement of the last 40 years has prompted congregations to explore the changes the settings in which they worship. In our workshops, the development and patterns of worship from throughout history are presented to give a more complete understanding of how church buildings may be reordered to more accurately reflect a modern style of worship. Christian symbols, sacred space, and places of liturgical action- the bath, the table, and the word- are also discussed.
Workshops are tailored to the specific needs of each congregation, worship committee, or ministry, and fees are based on an estimate of time involved in planning and presenting each workshop. Each workshop is in the range of $500 - $1,000.
