This past week I had the privilege of art directing a photo shoot at an incredible church in the Dallas area called IBOC (Inspiring Body of Christ). It was awe-inspiring to say the least.For the last couple of years, we’ve seen architectural plans and renderings of this dream building, and now to stand in the shadows of this enormous building was humbling. God is doing a great work in the hearts of the members as they see their building take shape. But God is also doing a wonderful work through the process that’s used to create the building. The Barron Group (Fort Worth, TX) started with a Charette process, moved to the architectural design and now the construction is nearing completion.
How to Build a Church? This integrated process is called Design Build.
To view this new church building process from afar, it seems perfect. Pastor Rickie Rush and his members are so excited to see the building take shape and they anxiously await their first service in the new building. They’ll stream into the entrances and will instantly be taken-aback by the huge aquarium that you either walk by or THROUGH in order to get into the 4200 seat auditorium. Once in their seats, they’ll feel surrounded by God’s Spirit as 3 gigantic screens and a state-of-the-art audio-video-lighting system ignites emotion and excitement.
All this for the purpose of winning the lost to Christ. This Church Building Project is all about Jesus and the Gospel!
But when you think about the entire church building process, it’s baffling to think that a $34 Million building can be produced. There are so many complexities that need to be supervised over their many square foot expanse. Here’s an article that focuses on the Aquarium and their Church Brand.
I walked though the building a few times. Once with the contracting supervisor, then the lead architect, and finally with the Pastor. Each person pointed out interesting details:
The cost-effective manner that this building was done honors God and Stewardship. It’s also less stressful and allows for engaging the church into the process. It’s called Design Build. I highly endorse it!
How much to build a church? Be careful you don’t add money to your plans by costly change fees. Design Build helps with this process.
Here’s a condensed version of the church building process as demonstrated on this amazing project:
All design builders don’t work EXACTLY the same way, but the process is available in your area too. Just google Church Design Builder in your State and they will point you to the closest builder in your area that specializes in this process AND loves the church.
