“With all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing forbearance to one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
Ephesians 4:2-3

Strange, you might think, that a church building consultant would introduce a commentary on construction design with a reference to unity. Actually, it is really not so strange at all! In fact, unity of purpose is absolutely essential to a successfully completed building project. It honors God, enhances church growth and allows the church leadership to be seen as heroes when the program is completed.

Unity of purpose within the fellowship will help answer the question “What shall we build and who will build it?” It will propel a partnered building team through the critical issues: vision casting, master planning, concept drawings, financial considerations and much more. When these concerns come to the table, as they inevitably will, a common sense of unity will keep personal agendas at bay.
