In spite of the fact that the megachurches get all of the attention, this chart from the Hartford Institute for Religion Research shows that in fact most people attend much smaller churches; the median church congregation size being just 75 people.
So why is there so little good design for them?

because good design is sadly expensive! i wish it wasn't. we just priced the circle surround at pink inc. design and its $1200 for a 10' x 10' section and we are having to purchase a large projection screen, a new projector, etc. on and on $ after $. we have less than 100 people right now but are moving to a larger space. we are thinking of using the nomad screen which isn't too expensive. thank you for having a blog devoted to this kind of stuff!!!
