Form Follows Mission
You’re probably reading this because you have questions and need answers. You may be a pastor considering macro level questions about how your building is (or isn't) supporting your mission. You may be a lay member in charge of a building program.
We see the same questions over and over again so we might have an idea of what yours are. We are writing a book called Form Follows Mission that gives practical answers to your most important questions.
1. Should we build?
2. What should we build?
3. How do we determine a budget we can afford?
4. How long will it take?
We answer these questions and many more through the grid of Form Follows Mission. You can view Chapter 1 to see how we approach architecture for churches.
Your MISSION matters for eternity! Your building should help you accomplish that mission, not hold you back!!!
We would be honored to speak with you further about how we wrap the 'FORM' of our architecture around your core 'MISSION' as a church.
