Are our services necessary for your church?
Are our services necessary for your church?
Yes . . . and . . . No.
There are a few layers to this so let’s break it down a bit.
Reasons why you shouldn’t or don’t need us.
The primary point that we would want to communicate with is the health of your church. While we like to think our work has some significant impacts on churches, we have to admit there is a limit to the reach of our services. What do I mean? Our services are not spiritual in nature. Yes, there is some spiritual impact, but, a new logo or website or even a new lobby will not solve spiritual problems. If your church is unhealthy, it might be best for you to pursue other areas first and then come back to these areas later.
If you are pursuing these things just for the sake of change, or so that you can leave your mark on the church, it’s probably not the best.
If you are hoping to build a brand, as opposed to furthering the kingdom . . . Well once again, probably not the best decision.
If you can, or your church has someone within it that could provide the same services we can, by all means work with them. Everyone is gifted in different ways and those gifts are meant to build up the church. Allowing those gifts to work within your church provides huge value for you!
Reasons you should explore using us.
Your church is stable and relatively healthy, but, elements of your church’s design are either out of date or no longer reflects your church accurately. if this is the case it might be time to reach out to us!
Your church is about to enter a time of transition, moving from one stage of life to the next, and you want to see if your design elements will need to transition as well. Come talk to us and see if we could help.
You feel as though different elements of your church’s design elements are limiting or impairing your ability to reach people for Christ.
You simply do not have enough hours in the day or the staffing capabilities to do this yourself, we’d love to help you with them.
Finally, with a post like this, we feel it is best to also leave you with our philosophy on the necessity of design services within the church. Ultimately, we see design as a way of glorifying God. While we would not put design in a category with, evangelism or discipleship, it is important. God is the ultimate creator and designer, you can gaze upon the mountains or the sea and sit in awe because of the grand design of God. You yourself are a masterpiece of this design. So, we see design in the church as a way of reflecting God’s creativity and glorifying Him. We understand that all churches have different levels of skill and ability, so each church needs to make the decision whether or not they are doing their best they can in this area. With that said, our services are geared to open up the possibility for the normative sized churches to have access to them, if they decide they have room to improve. This is why we value education so highly, our goal is to help churches by advancing their design, but to also give them the skillset to continue to improve down the road.
If you are on the edge of trying to figure out where your church stands, talk to us, we’d be glad to help you out. Even if the next step isn’t with us, we’d be glad to help you make it!
Let’s glorify God more, together!
