There are times you just simply feel at home. I remember when a good friend of mine named Mike Linch spoke at his mother’s funeral. He said when he walked up to the house, smelled what was cooking in the kitchen, and opened the screen door, he knew he was loved and at home.
Churches are very similar. The facilities play a major role. Oftentimes, when you walk up to the building and enter the door, you know if you are loved and at home.

Derek also added the comments below:
We believe that architectural design affects behavior. Behaviors become habits. Habits form us.
People instinctively move and operate in a space based on what the design is guiding them to do. As churches, schools, colleges, and universities grapple with how to meet the needs of a new generation of students, they often overlook the part their physical buildings are playing in influencing students’ formation—their responses, behaviors, and habits.
Making disciples is the highest goal for Christian schools and churches. This FREE guide delves into the cultural forces that are complicating the discipleship journey and how to use your built space to help address them using these crucial components of design:
- Modularity: How does your facility naturally guide people to have moments of quiet reflection, connect with others, and experience their faith?
- Nature: Does your church or school incorporate glass, greenery, or open-air spaces where individuals can connect with God through nature?
- Visual Clarity: Does your space tell people who you are and help them feel at ease and maneuver confidently?
- Respite: Does your facility offer spaces to rest and reflect, and recover from stress and anxiety?
