Modular church buildings provide beautiful, affordable and feasible options for ministries of all sizes. This is a cost-effective way to add additional space to your current facility. Worship centers, gymnasiums, administrative and pastoral offices, classrooms, and more are all easily added through the use of a prefab building structure. Read this article to find out more about the benefits available for your church.

Modular church buildings provide beautiful additions to facilities of all sizes. Church growth is a blessing that also must be addressed through expansion. Adding multiple services provides some additional seating within your facility but it does not address the need for classroom space or administrative space. Traditional construction can be quite costly and includes many variables which can unexpectedly increase the construction cost. The smart construction provided through modular church buildings provides beautiful additions and it fits within the congregation’s budget while providing room for new congregants. A prefab building will provide the ministry with much-needed space for worship services and can include beautifully designed traditional sanctuaries as well as modern worship centers. The sky is the limit when it comes to the possibilities available through modular church buildings. The new beautiful addition will provide opportunities for biblical training, recreational activities, children’s programs, administrative offices, and gymnasiums, multipurpose rooms that can be divided using cubicles for multiple classrooms or office space, and many other options.

About the journey in faith as Christian followers

about the journey in faith as Christian followers

There is an idea prevalent in today’s churches that in order to develop a sense of community, more than just a five-minute fellowship ritual in the service, a coffee hour in between services, or potluck dinner afterwards is necessary for the parishioners’ lives to genuinely intersect. Spaces are needed where the members of a church community can gather to share honestly about the journey in faith as Christian followers.

There are very profound implications for church architects when it comes to designing a church, whether the church community is building a church home for the first time, remodeling the structure they already have, or are putting on an addition.

As few as 10 to 15 years ago, the typical plans drawn up by a church design architect contained a narthex/lobby area that was much smaller in size. The space acted more as a way to funnel members to other church spaces or to or from the exterior entry points. Under the old design, although it was possible for members to stop and talk following service, few actually did to avoid causing a traffic jam at key areas. Most would simply avoid the bottleneck and leave quickly to go and pick up the kids and go home immediately after service. Any discussions or other social interaction would have to wait for the potluck suppers to avoid crowding or standing in someone else’s way.

The new religion or is killing the old church

the new religion or is killing the old church

I was clicking around my LinkedIn account, minding my own business, when I ran into church consultant Barbara Stechert. She had started a juicy discussion by writing that organized children’s sports is either the new religion or is killing the old church. People were very emotional in their responses – she obviously struck a chord.

For me, the chord that was struck as I was eavesdropping on the conversation was the same one I wrote about in my article Change Your Questions, Change Your Church – the power in changing the questions we’re asking. In this case, instead of asking if Little League is killing the church, how about asking these two questions?

1. How do WE tap into the level of commitment that’s showing up in children’s sports?

Instead of competing with Little League by asking if they’re killing the church, let’s look instead at what sports has to offer. How can we borrow from or build on that? Church and sports are not on opposing teams, we’re on the same team with the same goals – building strong families and helping kids grow up right.

The history of leisure and recreation goes back a very long way

the history of leisure and recreation goes back a very long way

When you stop to think about it, humankind has always enjoyed some type of leisure and recreation, so the history of leisure and recreation goes back a very long way. The Romans had the Coliseum, where they watched chariot races and other entertainment. The Greeks had amphitheaters where they viewed drama and comedy, and of course they invented the Olympics, one of the greatest entertainment sport spectacles on earth. The list goes on. Even the Bible discusses singing, dancing, music, and other forms of acceptable recreation, so even the most ancient civilizations enjoyed entertainment and recreation of some sort.

The Middle Ages

Life for most people in the Middle Ages was dark and difficult. More emphasis was put on work, and there was little time for leisure. However, jousting tournaments, hunting tournaments, and the earliest forms of chess, checkers, and other games developed during this time. The people worked hard, the Church forbade many forms of entertainment, but there were still leisure pastimes to help develop the growing history of leisure and recreation.
