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:
· 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

Preparing an Architectural Program
Preparing an Architectural Program of requirements is the ultimate goal of preliminary evaluation and analysis. In preparation for facility master planning, an architectural program is developed, taking into account the qualitative and quantitative space needs of the church, the existing facility's usability, and what new facilities are necessary.
Multiple meetings are scheduled with the various ministries of the church to ensure maximum participation and an open process in evaluating everyone's facility needs.
Eventually, the Master Plan will be measured against the Architectural Program to ensure that the site will accommodate and conform to the needs and desires of the congregation.
Fees for this service range from $2,500- $4,000.
