What
types of facilities are available to build?
|
The types of facilities that your church will build will depend on the vision of your church. You must also take into account your master plan. You may want all of these facilities, but it may not be practical to build all of these facilitates at once. Your master plan will allow you to build over time; allowing you all of the facility space that you want or need. Visiting other churches in you area may help you to consider the needs of your own church. Below are types of buildings to consider:
1.
Multipurpose Building
2. Sanctuary
3. Fellowship Hall
4. Gymnasium
5. Education/Daycare
6. Other
Buildings
MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING
Sanctuary,
fellowship hall and gymnasium all in one. Some of these buildings
have office, classroom space and shower facilities. A baptismal may
also be included. These building can be good starter churches, perhaps
building a more traditional sanctuary building in the future.

SANCTUARY
This
would be more of a traditional building. Often with any or all of
the amenities needed for any size church.

FELLOWSHIP HALL
Kitchen,
tables, food pantry and perhaps a library or other community services
might be in this type of building. Community outreach, soup kitchen,
food and clothing pantry for the community may also be a consideration
here. Often this can be a good place to get to know your fellow church
members and members of your community.

GYMNASIUM
3/4
size (middle school size gym floors) are often recommended for churches.
These can be used as multipurpose buildings. Storage areas and/or
classrooms are often on a second story or off to one side. Showers
are generally a good idea in these types of buildings. Snack bar/kitchen
might also be considered in a gymnasium building.

EDUCATION/DAYCARE
Many
times churches offer to educate their congregation and/or the community.
Educational buildings vary greatly in size and amenities.

OTHER
BUILDING TYPES
There
are other types of buildings that are available to build, but vary
greatly from church to church and their vision. An assisted living
center or a homeless shelter are good examples.
