Philosophy / Approach:

Successful religious architecture relies upon a clear understanding of a church’s teaching and theology. Each church has a unique identity, shaped by its history and its relationship to the community. At Fisher Heck we strongly believe in the interpretation and translation of each church’s needs into architectural form that conveys a clear message about the identity of the church. We understand the church should be a good neighbor, sensitive to its relationship with the surrounding community. The worship environment must respond to and serve the church’s unique theological requirements or style of service. The space must have appropriate acoustics that support the spoken word as well as the music program. Sacred art, special furnishings, and carefully planned lighting enhance the liturgical, devotional and contemplative soul of the worship environment.
