Themed Kids Ministry at Houston Northwest Church


Our friends at Houston Northwest Church (yep, in the northwest part of Houston, TX) are one of our newer digital projects. Most of the theming is done with digitally-produced artwork, and the results are just amazing!

We're excited to share these pictures we took on a recent visit to show you the fun, bright and inviting kids area of this fast-growing church.

The kids entrance is all about making check-in fast and fun!

While we were at Houston NW, we also took some new Panoramic shots.  To interact with the 3D panorama pictures, you'll need the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in for your browser.




We just love helping churches create these WOW experiences! The kids love being in "their" church and are excited to arrive and bring their friends.

Second Baptist Houston - Amazing Theming!


We're so excited to reveal the incredible theming our team completed at Second Baptist Church in Houston, Texas! The project included 18 classrooms, hallways and a large group space. Many of the classrooms are also used by Second Baptist School, a Christian college preparatory school for Pre-K through 12th grade.
Each of the classrooms incorporated a teaching station for showing videos or puppets, while also combining secure storage. We're thrilled with this project, and so are the children's ministry staff at the church and school! We took lots of fun photos and even some new panoramic pictures!

These are only a few of the classrooms and walls that we themed for this fun project. As we finished our tour of the completed building, we loved hearing from the church and school teachers how their students love the new themes and that they're even naming the characters in each room!

Shoreline Church - Panoramic Pictures


We've added some NEW panoramic shots of our installs! This is Shoreline Church in Austin, Texas, where we themed their children's entrance with a 3D ship coming through a wall, hallways, signage and their kids large group room. We also installed a really big multi-level kids enclosed play area that kids love to explore with their friends!

Memorial Baptist Church - Expedition Theme Completed!


This past month, we completed the new theme for Memorial Baptist Church of Bayside, Texas as they finalized their renovation project. The theme was adventurous with "Expedition Company" chosen. Custom branding, detailed airbrushed wall murals, 2D appliques and even a 3D tent entrance for thier children's large group room all came together in July.

The church's minister to children, Kay McDaniel, and the rest of the intrepid team at Memorial were great to partner with on this exciting adventure!


Feel free to click on any of the images below to see them in larger detail.

A Day at Trinity Kids Beach Playland


You can almost hear the waves lapping upon the shore as we brought this themed environment to life at Trinity Baptist Church in Lake Charles, Louisiana! We've had a lot of churches ask about this project because it combines our unique artistic flair, detailed airbrush work, 2D and 3D elements and climb-and-play sets for the kids to explore.


BRINGING THE BEACH TO CHURCH
Part of the fun in our projects is the seamless integration of interactive play spaces, including slides and themed soft foam, along with the atmospheric theming that excites the imagination. We've included a few pictures of the installation process to give you an idea of the size and scope of this incredible project.

FUN BEACH PLAY WITHOUT THE MESSY SAND!
After installation is complete, all of the play elements, themed murals and digital art bring the space together for a fun and exciting experience for kids and their parents. Our mission is to transform how churches reach the next generation, and this project at Trinity Baptist Church is one that will have kids enjoying their time at church for years to come!

Kids Church Design at South Plains Church


Playing off of the "shrunk the kids" movie, this theme includes a science lab-run-amok, with the blaster oversizing everything!


We have been totally blessed to work with the team at South Plains Church in Levelland, TX. 
We love this theme and if you're close to Levelland, drop by the church, get to know this awesome group of people and see their space in person!

Check-in is clearly identified and themed to match!
Uh oh! The blaster is out of control!
Now THAT'S a big ant! Notice the crisp, digital artistry detail.
By using a lower wainscot, the top portion of the wall is painted with simple airbrushed clouds.
That's one hungry frog!
The theme is carried down low (wainscot) by the grass blades.
