How Your Building Shapes Your Ministry: The Baptist T – When Building Design Limits Ministry

Sam is joined by Todd Brown and Isaac Brown of Brown Church Development Group, who are “The Church Facility Experts.” The design of your church might be shaping your culture more than you think. Building styles reflect ministry priorities–but if the building doesn’t adapt, those priorities can become limitations. In this first episode, they explore the ‘Baptist T’ (a common church layout from the 1960s to 1980s) and how it was built for a ministry model that no longer fits.

1. 1. The origin of the Baptist T
   2. Why it worked then
   3. Why it doesn’t work now
