The "Buzz"

The newly created "Energy Centers" at Christ Community Church in St. Charles, Illinois created quite the buzz this past weekend.  The doors opened to "rave reviews and high fives"  with recent changes made to the atrium and Welcome Center.  Open our Project Gallery to view what's creating the stir.   

Building Blocks

Watch the construction at Good Shepherd Church in Naperville, IL from the ground up! Current photos from the site reflect the progress being made. The basement block walls are being framed up with next steps to include the slab on grade being poured and precast floor planks being set. Sanctuary renovations are at the point where steel and carpentry framing will start this week with hopes that the northwest sanctuary will be closed in by next week. Share the excitement! New progress photos have been added to the project in our Design Gallery.      

"Energy Centers" at Christ Community Church 

The atrium at Christ Community Church in St. Charles, Illinois functioned more like a hall connecting various spaces. People passing through to their ministry destination created a “highway” feel - either high speed traffic or congested backups. A central information counter served as a focal point in an otherwise large and empty space. The church was looking for designated traffic patterns along with new “energy centers.” 

People involved in Spirit-led ministry create high level energy centers. Therefore, Wildesign Group designed furniture pods where ministry can occur. Pods of various formality and social connecting distances provide a context for anyone’s comfort zones. Now, people can move quickly to their destinations or enjoy a rest stop for spiritual refueling. A refurbished information counter simplifies attenders’ decision making. New paint, brick veneer, carpet, and signage accent the energy centers with added vigor.
