Design Charette Day 3

We munched on pizza as we got into “it” last night. We had a site plan and some 3d modeling to discuss. Our new building has really begun to take shape. Flesh is really beginning to appear on the bones or is it drywall? This whole process has lifted our building committee onto another level of excitement and anticipation. We need to see how we can transfer that energy to the wider congregation.

There was a lot of discussion about the main worship space, naturally. My guess is that half the group favored a more contemporary approach and half a more traditional with stained glass windows and pews. Functionality is a big deal for me. I’m not really one for making the building look like a church. It needs to be an inviting and flexible building dedicated to the worship of God. Steeple’s and pew don’t make a church, its the lives of the people that go there.
