Most of the time, people are interested in stories they can identify with to know that if it happened for someone, it could happen for them.

We can probably all think of examples of people who get “stuck” because they can’t imagine living out a different storyline.

Our “life stories” tell us who we are and why we’re here...

As the church, we are responsible for telling the most important story in human history.

Many churches are housed in rubber-stamp buildings that function in the same ways, regardless of where they’re located. They provide a needed meeting place for the congregation, but may not necessarily contribute to the story in a unique way otherwise.

When we take those steps to get to know the person instead of operating out of assumptions we grow in compassion, joy, and empathy.

Stories are key to saving us from ourselves.

If we communicate God’s story with excellence and integrity, lives will change. This includes storytelling through church design.
