I’m a huge fan and follower of the Vineyard Network. So, while my work at PlainJoe studios takes me to a lot of conferences these days, I’m particularly excited about this one. So, if you’ll be at the Vineyard National Conference East, in Cincinnati, Ohio in July, I’d love to grab some time with you!
If you happen to be in the Christian School world in a leadership role, I’d love to meet up with you at the Schools United Conference. I’ll be doing a session on telling your story well through a building project and representing for PlainJoe Studios. This is a great event hosted by Calvary Chapel in Fort Lauderdale, FL. You can get all the info here. Reach out to me via email if you plan on attending and you’d like to discuss a building project at your school.
Recently I had the chance to spend a little time serving the Leading Smart Network of Executive Pastors on behalf of PlainJoe-A Storyland Studio where I help churches and non-profits tell their story. In addition joining the invite only XP network call, Tim and I did an interview that can be shared more widely. You’ll find the short video below. Check out Tim’s Leading Smart Cohort and the rest of his blog HERE.
For the last couple of years, I’ve had the privilege of working with PlainJoe-A Storyland Studio. We’ve helped a ton of churches and non-profits tell their story well through branding, new church buildings or updating existing buildings. This spring we decided to give away 200 hours of design time to one deserving church or non-profit. No strings attached. No catch! A church or non-profit will be able to utilize this for just about anything that we do. For example, if a non-profit really wanted to update it’s branding and website, that would be a great use of this. Or let’s say a church really needs to update it’s lobby and kids space and wants to raise money to do the work, they could utilize this to get blue sky design work done and then use the imagery that emerges from that time to raise the needed funds to implement the designs. If you want to enter, you’ll need to do so by July 3rd. It’s not hard, just upload a video. It could even be on your phone. You’ll find everything you need on www.plainjoestudios.com !
Church buildings are incredible tools for ministry, but often times they need a few tweaks to make them even more effective. Here are six questions to ask about your building—and how well it is actually meeting your goals as a church.
If you follow this blog, you know that I’m deep into a fairly large building project for our biggest campus. We had the architect, General Contractor and AVL company taken care of, but one area we had not dealt with yet was Kids Ministry Theming. We decided to hire Plain Joe Studios to do the work. Let me tell you why.
