Hot take Tuesday 🥵

your building is either an invitation or an excuse.
Nobody opens a service with ten minutes of confusion. But a first-time guest can spend ten minutes just trying to find the kids check-in, the restroom, or the right door.

A confused guest rarely becomes a member. They don't complain. They just don't come back.
Good design fixes that before anyone has to ask. Clear wayfinding, obvious next steps, and a space that tells people where to go.

What's the first thing a guest has to figure out at your church? Tell us below.

We love when a rendering comes to life.

All People Church is just outside Boston. Kids there can't play outside for about nine months of the year, so the church wanted to bring the outdoors in with an indoor playground.

With 40-foot ceilings, we had all the height to work with. So instead of spreading out across the floor, we built up.

Thinking about starting a project with us? Here's what churches ask before we kick things off. 👇

Who should be in the first meeting?
Will it actually look like the rendering?
What do we need to do before install day?
Swipe for all six, with the answers we give every church we work with. 📌

Got a question we didn't cover? Drop it in the comments or send us a message. We'd love to talk.

Five ways a building tells a family where to go, from churches we've worked with.

Colored floor lines that start at a directory sign. Big letters on every door. A sign just for first-time families. One hanging sign with every direction. Ages instead of ministry names.

Send this to whoever sets up on Sunday.

It's never too late for us to step into a project. 🙌

We had three months to design this kids space, and it had to be ready before the lobby. So while the kids wing was going up, we were doing our favorite kind of shopping 🛍️: a finishes presentation, where we bring carpet, tile, paint and wall finishes that already go together and the church picks what they love.

Normally we don't do it in that order, but every project is its own adventure. Swipe for a peek behind the scenes 👀

Four kids check-in areas from churches we've worked with.

Freedom Life puts big KIDS letters right over the screens. Lifepoint mounts the screens inside the logo. Desperation leaves a card on the desk for first-time guests. Resonate paints CHECK-IN on the wall.

Which one is closest to yours? Send this to your kids director.

We love serving churches all across America, and this week we're in two places at once!

Our install teams are in Georgia and Virginia. Swipe to see both.

A first-time guest decides how they feel about your church before anyone says hello. They're asking simple questions: Where's the door? Where do my kids go? Is this place expecting me?

Your building answers first. Our job is to make sure it answers well.

Clarity is hospitality.

Another rendering coming to life. The CFkids check-in wall at Christ Fellowship.

We love when a rendering comes to life.

Earlier this year we showed United Church a picture of what their new lobby could look like. This month it's going up.

Swipe through: the rendering first, then the real wall mid-install. Ladders, boxes, and all!
