Building Community and the Space that Supports It
Churches have long been the place where communities have met to connect with each other. With the increase of access to the internet and social media, Americans have attempted to replace their normal human connection with online connections. With social distancing restrictions, we are beginning to realize that while we are thankful for the gift of technology to be able to see and hear our friends and loved ones, it is not a replacement for meeting together face-to-face in community.
Ben Blumer, Pastor of NorthCross Church in Lakeville says this about their new church facility:
“The building is a huge blessing, but it’s only a tool. It’s only an instrument. It’s not the finish line. It really is a launching pad. I really do think that this building has created an environment where people want to come and to grow and it’s our job and role to give them something to take home. Now go, put it into action in your lives with the people around you.”
Your church building is only the starting ground for your ministry. Creating spaces for people to make connections and build meaningful relationships within your walls allows for them to be encouraged, uplifted, and discipled. It equips them to walk out of your doors and be the church to the people that they interact with throughout the week.
