Worship Environments

January 9th, 2008

You’ll find no pews in Ben Arment’s self-proclaimed ‘largest collection of worship environments in the know universe‘ (His link is broken so here’s a direct link). As we think about how to worship God with design there is a ton of food for thought in his huge collection of photos of churches from around the country. You can grab ideas, get inspired, or just enjoy—but, the one lesson to take from these pictures is this: Everything in your church communicates. How are you going to make your church communicate that God is a powerful God, and Jesus Christ is the world’s only hope?

From Basillica Community

Not everyone has an old basketball arena to lead their flock. Worshiping God can happen just as well in school or community center as it can in a million dollar worship center. Take the time to download these files—you won’t be sorry.

From Lakewood Church (This is not a post about these churches’ theologies, so no barking)

    I love this topic and I wish it got more attention than it seems to.

    Don’t you think that shot from Lakewood look like the scene in Close Encounters when the mothership lands?

    Ha. It really does. I wonder what it would be like to be in such a huge church. Which brings up another question…

    What are some effects that the size of the building can have on the people worshiping God.
