We believe that a ministry is most effective when it is fully immersed in its community and that buildings can play a key role in moving a ministry toward this “embedded” identity. From the earliest stages of design, our church architects focus on helping ministry leaders consider how their new facility can be a more effective ministry tool that meets the needs of the community, not just on Sundays, but 7 days a week. This includes the idea of incorporating early childhood education centers, community centers and other models that can create people flow and even generate additional income for the ministry.

The demographics of your community and the needs and preferences of your attendees will change from generation to generation. At BGW, we are committed to designing flexible church buildings that will support the changing needs of your membership and your community both now and into the future. For example, a key consideration in every church design is eliminating or minimizing the number of load bearing walls that could limit future flexibility of the space.

In addition to being flexible for the future, our church designs also place an emphasis on incorporating adaptable, multi-functional spaces that allow ministries to maximize the utilization of their facilities and better serve the needs of their communities. For example, flexible seating, portable partitions and modular furniture enable quick reconfiguration of a space to accommodate different events and group sizes.

Whether you’re building a new facility or trying to expand your reach in the community through an existing building, it is important to establish a first impression and create a unique experience or emotion for your visitors. BGW is aligned with an experienced branding expert that can help you incorporate aspects of your brand into the aesthetics of your facility to strengthen brand identification and reinforce your brand values.
