Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A church building (or simply church) is a building used in Christian worship. During a siege by Parthian troops in A.D. 257 the buildings in the outermost blocks of the city grid were partially destroyed and filled with rubble to reinforce the city wall. A common architecture for churches is the shape of a cross (a long central rectangle, with side rectangles, and a rectangle in front for the altar space or sanctuary). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Church   (841 words)

MSN Encarta - Church (building) In general, two types of plans predominate: the basilica, processional in form, with a long axis running from a centered doorway to the altar at the other end of the building; and the centralized church, of circular or polygonal plan, with one large central space, usually with a dome overhead. Churches also vary according to the period in which they were built, that is, by architectural style; styles of the past have often been revived and reinterpreted. The Romanesque church was largely the result of monastic influence, which concentrated the forces of church building in well-to-do communities of monks, especially in France. encarta.msn.com /encnet/refpages/RefArticle.aspx?refid=761578854   (646 words)

Church Building The Manasseh Point Association church building program consists of building churches, leasing and installing pastor in any area worldwide where there is a certificate of need. Whereas our church building plan might not appeal to the pastor who has a vision for a 5,000 seat assembly, it will be of interest to the home mission pastor who has a hand full of members. This program of church building is not a panacea nor will it take the place of pastors and churches in search of financial capital or building fund resources. www.manassehpoint.com /html/church_building.html   (1451 words)

St Julie Billiart Church - new church building The liturgical documents concerned with church design are like a skeleton, upon which we have put the flesh of a building which is unique, but which we feel will greatly contribute to our parish's worship life and sense of community through the course of the next century. In October of 1990, we formed a "Church Study Group," which began a process of securing demographic and liturgical data, attending workshops, and developing a proposal which was accepted by the parish at a town hall meeting in May of 1992. The designers of our church building hoped that by making the Baptismal pool significantly large, and the Crucifix large also, we would be stirred by these signs and enter into prayer with more appreciation of how we are Christians. www.stjulie.org /NewChurchr.htm   (4540 words)

The Church Building By "church building" I have reference to a building in which the church meets, a building usually owned, rented, or leased by the church (the term ekklesia, church, never applies to the building but to the people). Besides, just because a church does not have a church building does not mean that the church collectively constitutes needy saints, those for whom there is authority for the treasury to be used to assist (cp.

Rick Warren's Ministry Toolbox In fact, I'm convinced that church buildings are a major barrier to exponential growth and that massive building programs are often a waste of money. Currently there are several dozen extremely large church buildings being planned and built in America, but I believe they are the last of the dinosaurs. That's why I'd rather have a building of 200 and fill it with five services than have a 1,000-seat auditorium that is filled only once a week and then left empty the rest of the week. www.pastors.com /article.asp?ArtID=1730   (819 words)

The Church's Building and Maintenance Service If we think of the church as a building, then we are studying the blueprints, the architecture of it, the plan of the designer.
