2. Since the LSA team joined in 1999 we have had
the privilege of designing over 100 churches.
Over 10% of those have been worship spaces over 1,000 seats
and more than a dozen have been adaptive reuse projects of
existing buildings and spaces.

17. Interior
Design
The choice of finishes will
determine any visitor’s first
impression, directly impact
your budget and precedes
the usability & performance
of your space for its life
time.
This is why we spend so
much time keeping current
with choices of materials.
18. Lessons Learned
There is always a column
or a beam ‘in the way’ of
what is ideal.
So you have to think
creatively.
Sometimes a space that
doesn’t ‘fit’ can be part of
what it makes it unique.
Ministry is all about
helping people that are
irregular and letting them
know God accepts them
as they are.
