New Around-the-World Theme at Calvary Life!

We're excited about the newly completed around-the-world theme for the new Calvary Life children's building! This is an amazing digital project from Worlds of Wow that incorporates electronically-produced artwork that is applied via wallcovering to create seamless scenes.

The project also included creating an new youth area called "The Loft" that needed a more mature, urban feel. The result is a photorealistic urban look and feel!

The building is almost ready, with final elements like carpet and furniture being added after we finished theming. Take a photo-tour of our installation and see samples of hallways, check-in and classroom themes below:

A boy and a parakeet greet kids at check-in. 

From Brazil to India. 

From Kenya to China.

A young boy and his boomerang in Australia.

Elementary Check-In is ready to board for the trip!

A hallway vignette leads parents and kids to Calvary Life's Check-in. 

A faux finish that looks like rivets and brick on this wallcovering!

Rounding a corner to the Youth area beings the transition to an urban feel.

"The Loft" is Calvary Life's area for teens.

Our install team recently returned from finishing up the digital theming project Journey Church in Norman, OK. Our digital projects are printed onto vinyl and layered onto the wall for sharp and fun high-resolution scenes.

Every classroom has a unique theme and many include a Biblically-inspired name, perfect for welcoming young children! Take a look at a sampling of the pictures from this simple project:

The "Red Sea Split"

"Joyful Noise"

"Precinct 13"

The "Good News Bookstore"

"Light of the World"

The "Good Shepherd Car Garage"

We've been reviewing our ever-growing client list and came to the realization that our installations of themes and play at churches is reaching a LOT of kids and families! We did some math and roughly estimate that over 25,000 kids are reached and about 40,000 parents see our theming and play at churches each weekend!!

The churches are the ones building the relationships, which are the most important part of reaching kids and families. We're just really excited to help these churches create ridiculously cool, fun environments for reaching those kids and parents!

THANK YOU for allowing Worlds of Wow to partner with so many fantastic churches!

Creative Theme for Riverbend Church, Austin, TX

We've been doing some really creative "no-theme themes" for churches who don't want a traditional character or event-based theme. One such church is Riverbend Church in the hill country area of Austin, Texas.

We provided a clever and colorful theme for their main children's building, complete with a huge soft-contained play space you can walk under and two large worship rooms for elementary and middle school children. Each space is unique and provides a color schema that fits age-appropriately.

Why we don't use Stickers or Decals: Kids pick at everything!

Why we don't use Stickers or Decals: Kids pick at everything!

When you've worked with kids as much as our churches have, you learn a few really important things.

• Create environments that Wow kids & parents
• Put theme elements at the child's level to see and touch
• Never, ever use stickers or decals!

All of our art appliqués are either airbrushed directly or digitally printed and then sealed, ensuring that there's never something for kids to pick at or peel off - only to enjoy!

These are some examples, including a some close-ups of our appliqués that show just how beautiful and durable they are for churches. CLICK on any of the images below to see a bigger version!

This past week we hosted a group of North Texas large church children's ministry pastors at Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas. We brought in two children's ministry gurus, Greg Baird (KidMin360.com) and Kenny Conley (ChildrensMinistryOnline.com) to share leadership principles and lessons for leading teams, leading across ministries and up to their leaders.

Greg and Kenny opened up the discussion to the nearly 50 attendees for shared experiences, practical advice and creative take-aways. Gateway Church's Ken and Mary Jackson hosted a tour of the amazing children's facilities and shared the heart and intentionality for reaching kids and families.

Here are some of the fun pictures from the 3 hour event. We plan on doing more of these across the country for peer-to-peer learning and networking!
