The following is a sponsored post from The Aspen Group. They are one of my favorite organizations and receive my top recommendation. When a church is building a new facility from the ground up, or has existing facilities it needs to expand or renovate, Aspen Group has the expertise to bring a church’s vision to reality. But while this highly-competent design/build firm, what I love most about this organization is their heart.

Making Space Podcast
The churches we attend each have unique assets to offer our communities. But the question is, how do we identify those assets, and how do we utilize them for effective ministry? One of the key ways to deploy our assets to reach the lost and serve those in need is by listening to our communities. In this episode of the Making Space Podcast, Dr. Cynthia Wallace guides us on a journey to understand what it means to repurpose ordinary buildings for God’s Kingdom. Repurposing isn’t just about beautifying spaces—it’s about transforming them into counseling centers for mental health, food pantries to assist those in need, or affordable nurseries for busy parents during the week. The possibilities are endless for how the Church can support the community, but what does your community need?
Cynthia Wallace serves as Executive Pastor and Director of the Oasis Project at Bible Center Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Oasis Project, an extension of the church, is dedicated to serving the community by providing education, employment, entrepreneurship training, and environmental rehabilitation. As Sara Joy Proppe and Dr. Wallace discuss the Oasis Project’s current efforts, we learn how vital it is for people to have physical environments that promote mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. By listening to our communities, we can gather the insights needed to fuel ministries that drive positive change.
