Church Plant Facility Options
Facility Options:
- Brainstorm all possible facility options
- Advantages/Disadvantages of 1 Day Facility
- Advantages/Disadvantages of 7 Day Facility
- Most ECC plants start with 1 Day Facilities
Let’s look at real examples from ECC plants:
Worship Spaces
- Many Church Plants meet in schools
- Some meet in urban locations
- Some meet in school auditoriums
- Worship in a school cafetorium with stage
Gathering Spaces
- Have adequate gathering space – and lots of snacks!
- A Place to Connect after the service
- Who would like the décor of this bathroom? Men in Edinboro, PA talk to their unchurched friends about it!
Children’s Ministries
- Kids Ministry in a Library
- Put fun events out front to create excitement
- Put “tents” inside a larger kids space to break it up and create “classrooms”
- Kid’s ministry space in a movie theatre lobby
Signage
- Greeting and Signage are important
- Interior and Exterior Signs send important messages to your guests
Building Considerations
- Lighting can be difficult in movie theatres
- Some Cafetoriums are more challenging
- A simple light tree made out of corrogated plastic with lights behind makes a cool worship effect.
- Simple HVAC: Rather than have an expensive hvac unit that cools/heats the worship space 24/7, install a commercial unit like this 5 ton and run it before and between the worship services. It’s noisier than regular unit, but since it’s turned off during services, it doesn’t matter + it saves money.
