Goals & Objectives
Just as water confroms to the shape of the vessel into which it is poured, your ministry will conform to what your facility allows.

• One guarantee we will make is your ministry will exercise your new facility. The only question is when. What we mean by exercising the facility is finding a place for everything and understanding how each ministry will use the facility. The earlier any short comings in the design are identified, the lower the cost of implementing the solutions.

• It is important for everyone over all the different areas which will use the new facility to be involved in the planning process.

Considerations

• In any new design project there are endless possibilities. The more time and thought put into the design, the better your new facility can be.

• When a visitor drives up to your facility, do they know which entrance to use?

• When entering your facility, is it clear where the restooms, nursery and sanctuary are?

• Is there an area for the choir to line up before they enter the choir loft?

• Where will the drum kit or other instruments be stored when they’re not used during a service or event?

• Where will you plug all those Christmas lights in?

• Before service starts, will you have ushers or specific greeters welcoming people as they arrive? At which entrances will these people be located? Is there a possibility a visitor could enter the facility and not be greeted because of the facility layout?
