WOW - The Process Begins

My first thought was, “Oh great, I hope this isn’t some company that thinks they can decorate a cool children’s ministry room.”

I was “encouraged” to call Worlds of Wow because the design/build company our church is using for an expansion had used them in the past. And since I’d never heard or seen anything about WOW in my research for the other building projects (read the post, “Worlds of Wow”), I thought I’d give them a call just to fulfill the obligation.

Wow (no pun intended) was I wrong about WOW. Truly, God’s divine hand was working out this relationship because when I called, lo and behold, Reagan Hillier and Kyle, another team member, were finishing a project locally. We set up a meeting and from the get go, I was impressed. Reagan and Kyle have a gracious air about them, they're very easy to like and talk with. Needless to say we had a great meeting.

My assistant, two others and myself also took time to check out work they've done at local churches and were again impressed. The environments they've created are beautiful and are kid and family friendly. And to top it all off, all the churches we visited spoke highly of Worlds of Wow.

So, the contract has been signed and with WOW, the process begins. Come back to Children's Ministry 101 for the next post as I'll be writing about the "questionnaire" and the pre-design visit; probably the most insightful design meeting I've ever been a part of and we didn't even come up with a design.
