Class 1—A Vision for a Campus Many churches are a jumble of building styles and functions—a mix of dated 1960s with 1990s big box with 2005s cheap. They are a hodge-podge of brick, stone, wood and stucco facades. In this class, we will examine a comprehensive and thorough “vision for a campus.” Whether your church has 500 or 5,000 in worship, your campus needs a sense of creative purpose and design. What does “all campus” thinking look like? What are the essential elements? What questions do pastors need to ask of architects and planners?
