Do not buy my book. Isn't it fascinating how every church that starts out on a new building project or renovation or addition always start out with the best of intentions. By the time the building committee finishes with the budget, you get all of the above mistakes - in hope of saving money or second guessing their acoustical needs. The churches that are truly unique are the ones that stick to their convictions, avoid the mistakes on this web page and take a leap of faith - only to discover that their faith is rewarded beyond their dreams. To do any of the mistakes on this page is a sure fire way to create an over priced, confusing room to be avoided for speech, music and worship.
Churches are the most dissatisfied owners of buildings in the world.
Another fact that is often over looked is this. A church, built for speech, is ideal for all music. A church built for music is usually not very good for speech. Building a church with any other purpose is just another expensive shell. It doesn't matter if you are building a church for Classical music or Christian Rock and Roll.
