Make Your First Impression Count!
Studies show that you have seven minutes to make an impression when someone comes by your church. Does the state of your building matter? Does how your space looks impact a first-time visitor’s experience? When you take an intentionally-designed, attractive space and then add the people of God who contain the life-giving hope of Jesus to it, that’s attractional! That sounds like a place I want to be.
Does Church Interior Design Matter?
Does church interior design matter? This is a really valid question! Aren’t Christians supposed to be nonjudgemental? Aren’t they supposed to look past the surface? Well, yes! Christians are supposed to be Christlike. 1 Samuel 16:7 says, “Man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” As much as this scripture shows us about the nature of God, that He looks on our heart and sees beyond the outer layers, it also is very telling about the nature of humans. We are inclined to look at the outside. This is a simple truth about all of us. Apart from Jesus, we look at the surface and make decisions based on what we see.
