Instead of designing a church from scratch, in many cases it is possible to find a church building plan from a previous building program and modify it to meet the needs and local building codes of the new church. This can shave weeks and months of time, and often tens of thousands of dollars, off of the church design process. The process becomes one of finding a plan that is reasonably close to your needs and paying to have it modified rather than drawn from scratch.
ChurchPlanSource.com provides church building plans and the services of top church architects and church building consultants. For a limited time, churches can search and download church floor plans. Once the church finds a plan they want, they can (in most cases) purchase the church plan as-is, or modified to their needs and sealed by an architect licensed in their state. The philosophy is simple; provide good information, high quality church plans, and architectural services at prices well below market rates.
