About This Podcast:

In Session 5 of the Church Building Projects Masterclass, Shawn Stewart will walk you through the often-overlooked role interior design plays in shaping the experience of a church building. From flooring and furniture to lighting, materials, and spatial cues, Shawn explains how thoughtful interior selections reinforce the story and values of a church while helping create spaces people genuinely want to gather in. He also explores how design choices influence behavior, support hospitality, and contribute to a cohesive brand experience – ensuring that every detail works together to communicate a consistent and welcoming story.

During seasons of church growth, having adequate space becomes a constant pressure. Adding services is one of the best strategies you can engage in to improve the health of your church: It forces you to multiply the number of leaders in your church, increase volunteers, and create simpler systems.

But there comes a point in time when you are approaching that critical mass in all of the services you can reasonably add, and it’s time to consider building or expanding a facility.

So, what do you do when you are staring down that reality?

In this free masterclass series, The Unstuck Group, PlainJoe Studios and friends will walk you through it from start to finish.

Learn how to approach a necessary building project in a strategic way that leads to the healthiest outcomes.

Whether you need to build for the first time, expand or update an existing facility, renovate a building you were gifted, or construct a campus’ first permanent home, you will walk away with a clearer understanding of all the elements you need to consider, and the logical order to take them in:

1. The first meeting you need to have & what to bring
2. Crash course in architecture & master planning
3. Crash course in good signage, graphics and theming
4. Wise planning for audio, visual and lighting
5. Interior design basics to save you money down the road
6. Generosity initiatives that work
7. Selecting the right banking partner
8. Sustaining momentum after you move in

In this 6-hour online series, learn everything you need to know about the types of church building projects and the various issues you need to consider.

At PlainJoe, a Storyland Studio, we partner with churches, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and educational environments to create unforgettable strategic, interactive, and spatial stories that lift the Spirit.
