Church building designs reflecting our heritage

Across all nations, creeds, and religions, man has sought to build houses of worship, places of air and light, stone and wood, to inspire the spirits of their communities. Whether the perfect church building design is a vaulted cathedral with spires and chapels, or a contemporary glass and steel structure, every house of worship reflects the community and congregation that surround it.

And of course, church building design has come a long ways since the Middles Ages, even if the style still reflects it. Many churches are more than the structure of a sanctuary and are comprised of schools, office buildings, or in the case of The Church of the Apostles church building design, planning for over 1,000 parking spaces.

Considerations in church building designs

Growth is the hope of every congregation, and so church building designs must take space into consideration. For instance, how many current members of the congregation exist? What must be done to ensure you account for handicapped members of the congregation? Is the church building design something that will be integrated into a neighborhood, or a stand-alone structure on a large amount of land?

At CDH Partners, our approach means every angle is examined, even in the earliest stages. That's why every commission starts with the community, not with our company. We listen closely to the people behind the projects, leveraging our expertise with their vision. We believe the results speak for themselves. Our extensive portfolio of church building designs can be viewed online, including plans for buildings not yet completed and finished projects.
