The McKnight Group : Leaders In Innovative Church Design & Building.

There has been a lot of progress happening recently at Delaware Christian School as this addition project continues to take shape! 🚧🏫

These images are just a glimpse into the work completed over the past week, and even more progress is already underway as summer begins.

While students may be out of the classrooms for the season, construction is moving full speed ahead to help prepare this space for future students, learning, and ministry opportunities. One of the latest major milestones, which has been especially neat to see, has been pouring the ICF walls with a pump truck yesterday, so stay tuned for a behind-the-scenes look at that process soon.

It’s always an honor to work alongside Christian schools and help create environments that support both educational and spiritual growth for the next generation.

And to the recent graduates of DCS and the many other schools we partner with — congratulations on this exciting accomplishment! 🎉🎓 We’re praying for the Class of 2026 as you step into this next chapter and all God has ahead for you.

Vision-driven church design doesn't happen overnight. It happens over decades. Learn more about how one church used strategic to keep its ministry growing for 50+ years.

A church’s mission doesn’t change but the vision for ministry will change with time, and a church design based on that vision should change as well. We are telling the story of how one church, Grove City Church of the Nazarene, has worked with The McKnight Group for more than 50 years, having it...

Thank you to everyone who joined us for yesterday’s i3 webinar, “Safety & Security 2.0: Designing for a Welcoming Yet Protected Church”, and we hope you enjoyed our discussion on this important topic.

Designing a church that feels both welcoming and protected requires thoughtful planning, and it was great to walk through that balance together.

The spaces shown here are examples of how design can support both safety and functionality. From children’s areas to entry points, every detail plays a role.

We’re excited to see progress on this project at Landmark Church in Cincinnati, Ohio! This gym has been an ongoing restoration and transformation to improve the space for the church’s Youth Center.

This is only one part of the project. As a whole, the updated design of the building will include youth classrooms and a dedicated area for gathering and activity, creating an environment built specifically for the next generation. The new Youth Center is designed to support connection, learning, and recreation.

Projects like this are all about creating spaces where students can grow in community and in their faith.

We love creating opportunities to pour into the next generation of Believers! 🏀⛪️🙌

Here’s a look at what’s been happening over the past couple months at First Christian Church Meyers Lake in Canton, Ohio.

From concrete work and framing to walls taking shape, this project is steadily moving forward as this space is repurposed and remodeled for ministry.

It’s always exciting to see progress at this stage, knowing what these spaces will soon become and the impact they’ll have on the people who walk through them.

We’re looking forward to sharing more as this project continues to take shape. Be sure you are following our page to see more and gather inspiration for your church from what their incredible ministry is up to!
