Making Space for the Future

Combining Research and Design to Help Churches Create Purposeful Ministry Spaces

What the Church Needs Next

For over thirty years, Aspen Group has worked with churches across the country to design and build new facilities, additions, and renovations. Their construction expertise combined with an integrated process saves time and money while driving measurable success for churches.

At the forefront of innovation, Aspen navigates the evolving cultural landscape, ready to provide solutions for the Church’s future. Aspen Group crafts spaces that reflect the glory of God and building a legacy of ministry impact.

Making Space Series

Churches are more than just buildings—but what if our spaces could reflect God’s beauty and draw people closer to Him? In partnership with Aspen Group, we explored how physical and digital environments shape spiritual formation and worship. The result is Making Space, a new report series designed to help churches use their buildings and land to support deeper discipleship.

 

Welcome to the Making Space Podcast!

This podcast comes out of a decade’s long partnership between the Aspen Group and Barna. In this project, we’re focusing on the impact that physical spaces have on the way people are formed and shaped as they experience Jesus, engage with the church and interact with others in community. Co-hosted by Benjamin Windle and Jay Kim.
