Renewal & Respect

In addition to new construction, our team regularly helps churches re-envision their existing spaces. We provide church architecture services that honor the history of your sacred space while adapting it for your contemporary needs. We understand the impact a redesign can have on your church community and help you develop spaces where everyone feels welcome.

Crafting Sacred Spaces

Our sanctuary design approach blends reverence, functionality, and beauty. We create worship spaces that foster community, reflection, and spiritual connection while addressing acoustics, lighting, seating, and accessibility. From traditional sanctuaries to contemporary houses of worship, our team ensures that every design supports meaningful experiences for congregations while meeting practical and code requirements.

Place of Worship

Beyond the Fellowship Hall

Today’s churches require more than a single gathering space. Many have expanded their community outreach to include education, recreation, and even entertainment. We work closely with our church architecture clients to seamlessly integrate these new functions into their campus while preserving the sacred integrity of their worship spaces.

Church Organ

Pipe Organ Architecture

Designing for pipe organs within church architecture requires specialized expertise, as these instruments are often central to a congregation’s identity and experience. At Cole & Denny, we create thoughtful designs that optimize acoustics, functionality, and longevity, while ensuring the organ is visually stunning and harmoniously integrated into the space.

Architectural Design for Memorial Spaces

We help churches care for and honor their communities now and for the future. Our church architecture services include a variety of memorial spaces designed specifically for your needs and to fit your space. We provide planning and design for cemeteries and mausoleums as well as columbariums and memorial gardens.
