INTRODUCTION
This document is a companion to A Guide to Christian Church Design. The program and site examples that were included in that document are examples of what the processes detailed in this workbook could lead to. This document is designed to help congregations in the Chicagoland area discover their preliminary programmatic needs and evaluate potential sites for their new church development. Although it is geared towards congregations looking to build a roughly 400 seat worship space, there is
The workbook and CD are interactive and allow for a congregation to utilize and personalize the information provided in A Guide to Christian Church Design. It is suggested that congregations make copies of the worksheets in order to work through multiple options. Please note that this book was compiled to aid in the design process. Contact a professional to continue the design and building processes.

PROGRAM INTRODUCTION The program section of the workbook was designed to allow a congregation to input what is needed for their church and be provided a preliminary square footage break down based on code guidelines and similar church designs. Follow the instructions below to complete the provided worksheets.
INSTRUCTIONS
2
[1]
Read through the questions listed on Page 3, and answer them on the lines provided.
[2]
Open the spreadsheet Church_Program_Calculations.xls on the CD.
[3]
Choose the INPUT tab and transfer the answers from Page 3 into Column B.
[4]
Switch to the OUTPUT tab, and write the results from Columns C-F and J-M on the corresponding lines found on Pages 4-5.
[5]
Switch to the PRINT tab to print that sheet [in color], and cut out the color-coordinated rectangles.
[6]
Arrange the Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple and Red rectangles in an effort to process through different potential spacial relationships of the programmatic categories. There are examples of this exercise in the Program section of the companion guide. The goal is to arrange the spaces such that corresponding spaces are near one another. There is a list of general programmatic rules in that Program section which gives some guidance towards spatial connections.
[7]
Paste the results on the available Programmatic Diagramming sheets, on Pages 6-7.

SITE INTRODUCTION Site analysis is a part of design used to document and evaluate a aims to address the pros and cons of a site and determine whether that site particular part of the site that needs to be analyzed. Located in the site section in A Guide to Christian Church Design, there is an example of Rockwon Concrete Church that uses the checklists and grid sheets in order to analyze and document a site. This is a very valuable resourse to reference when looking at a site and trying to decide whether or not it is best suited for the congregation. Based on the following site exercise, determine whether or not the site is suitable for the desired church.
INSTRUCTIONS
8
[1]
Fill out the site checklist for size and answer all applicable questions.
[2]
Sketch out the information using the icons from the site checklist for size.
[3]
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the feasibility, features, conditions, and utilities checklists and grid sheets.
[4]
Compile the information on the Compilation sheet on Page 20 by resketching the information from each of the grid sheets.
[5]
Use the site outline from the Compilation sheet and transfer it onto the Informed Building Placement Sheet on Page 21.
[6]
Using the Building Total calcualted in the Program section of this document, sketch a square representing a version of the total building area to the indicated scale, placing it within the site outline to determine where the building could be located based on the information compiled on page 20.
[7]
Sketch any potentially proposed changes to the site based on building placement, as well as programmatic needs and site information as determined by the exercises in this workbook.

Is the site big enough for the purposes of your inquiry? (1 acre for every 100-125 people on your site at a time) Is the site big enough to include a parking lot for those people? (100-110 spots per acre; One space for every 2.0 to 2.5 people.) (Parking is included in inquiry total above; 50%) Is the site big enough for future congregation growth? (Plan for minimum 100-200 congregation increase) Is the site large enough to accommodate expansion for education space? (1 acre for every 100-125 people on your site at a time) Is there space on the site for an Outdoor Recreation area? (Recommended 2 to 4 acres) Does the site meet all the acreage required to build for the present and future? (Land for drainage, setbacks, etc. is unusable space not to be counted)
