Facility Tour: Vintage Faith Church

A few weekends ago my husband and I were in Santa Cruz so we attended Vintage Faith Church. I have heard about this church for years due to word of mouth and also being familiar with Dan Kimball’s writings. So we thought we would stop by! And as is my habit, I brought my camera along and before services started walked around shooting pictures.

Facility Tour: Cornerstone Church

In 2006, I visited Cornerstone Church in Livermore, California. I didn’t take many pictures, but here are a few. It’s a very beautiful facility.

Facility Tour: Hillsong Church

In 2007, our family went to Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia, for the Hillsong Conference. While we were there, we visited the church for their church services. It was a wonderful experience.

Facility Tour: Mariners Church

In 2005 I visited Mariners Church in Irvine, California. At that time they were doing a building campaign to build a new children’s ministry area. I’m sure things are different by now, but here is how things looked back then.

Facility Tour: North Coast Church

In 2005 I went to the Video Venue Conference at North Coast Church. North Coast was the church that pioneered the video venue church, now a part of quite a number of large churches that are multi-site. I was part of a church that was starting a video venue so we went down to check it out.

Facility Tour: Fellowship Bible Church Part 2

In my previous post, I described my 2005 visit to Fellowship Bible Church. This post continues by describing the children’s ministry area. I took so many pictures that it warrants its own post!

Facility Tour: Fellowship Bible Church Part 1

In 2005, I went to Fellowship Bible Church in Dallas, Texas for their C3 (Creative Church Culture) conference. One thing unique about this church — they painted their logo on the roof of their church so as my plane was landing I could see it from the sky!

Facility Tour: New Hope Christian Fellowship

In 2004, (and again in 2007 or so) I visited New Hope Christian Fellowship in Honolulu, Hawaii. Here are a few pictures I took. I actually checked out more areas in my latter trip (including the cool hidden attic walkway!) but do not have all the pictures. The first time was as an attendee. The second time was coordinating a conference there. All I can say is I have great respect for all the staff there — it was so awesome working with them!

Facility Tour: Willow Creek Community Church Part 2

A continuation of Part 1. Part 2 covers Willow Creek’s signage, children areas and auditorium.

Facility Tour: Willow Creek Community Church Part 1

In 2004 I went to Willow Creek Community Church in Barrington, Illinois for the Volunteer Revolution Conference. I was happy to go, as Willow Creek was actually my home church back in the days when I lived nearby. But they had recently built a brand new auditorium — which was beautiful! Since I took so many pictures, I am splitting this into two posts.

This first one has to do with the lobby and hallway areas.
