Calvary Chapel in Fort Worth, TX


We were blessed to provide digital theming to space at Calvary Chapel. These are multiple scens from Noah's Ark that adorn walls around the children's areas.


Last year we had installed a cool indoor play unit as well.

Horizons Church in Lost Creek, WV


Sculpted 3D elements can really take a theme and make the experience over-the-top! We were able to combine both 3D and our airbrush theming for a complete look-and-feel at Horizons Church. Stop by and say "Hi!" to Kelly if you're in the neighborhood and ask about their experience working with Worlds of Wow.



A sculpted 3D well makes this scene literally come off of the wall!
This small set is fun for kids to experience!
Massive airbrushed boulders adorn this large group room wall.
Looks like someone left their guitar in the rock quarry!
If you like the look of this project and want to find out more about our airbrush work, just contact us and we'll chat about how we can work with your church!

Church Theme Ideas at Worship Center in Lancaster, PA


Take a look at these great pictures of the new theme at the Worship Center in beautiful Lancaster, PA. Great folks to work with and a really cool looking theme and play project. Worlds of Wow is the ONLY theming company to also provide both soft pre-k play elements and full soft-contained elementary play attractions for churches.


The large sculpted tree with silk leaves is the center piece for a 360 degree check-in area.
The young kids auditorium with a themed stage.
An airbrushed vignette of a fox.
Combining airbrush with 2D appliqués helps tie the nature scene together.
A play unit is a ton of fun for the kids before and after service!

Church Indoor Playground and Creative Themed Kids Area at Kelview Heights Baptist Church


This is a terrific example of our "no-theme theme", where we use fun, age-appropriate colors, plenty of geometric shapes and crisp signage and lettering to create a unique experience. For some churches, such as Kelview Heights, the decision to not use a character-based theme pays off big dividends! See the pictures below to see how their preschool and elementary children's ministry areas are bright, fun and welcoming!

Trinity Heights Baptist Church


Our Wow digital projects can be some of the most cost-effective custom themes available to churches. Worlds of Wow has been blessed to partner with Trinity Heights Baptist Church in Shreveport, LA.


Each digital project is custom artwork printed onto vinyl wallcovering, professionally installed and treated with our clear coat protection.

And now, how about these before and after pics.

A blank wall is a blank canvas to Worlds of Wow!
The same wall, no longer blank, but digitally themed!
A typical, boring church large group room before theming.
Simple theming done with wainscot down low is inexpensive & fun!
A blank overhead entry feels sterile.
Now the kids have a fun entry to build anticipation!

East Bayou - A Simple and Custom Digital Project


For the most wow factor at the least budget, we renovated an existing preschool space with our 100% original themed digital scenic treatment. The high-resolution appliques and wall covering really make this first-time visitor and member check-in area look fun and welcoming! Thanks to Kevin and everyone at East Bayou!

Large, high-resolution appliqués create the main signage.
The check-in desk is wrapped in a digitally printed wallcovering.
Appliques adorn  the walls and custom signs queue up check-in.
Simple three-color base paint with appliqués is inexpensive and fun!
The detail in each of the appliqués is just awesome!

If your church has a small theming project, contact us by emailing hello@worldsofwow.com or calling 817.380.4215.

Play attraction in a large group room at Hillside Church


We loved partnering with Hillside Church in MN to provide this incredibly fun play attraction for their large group space! Pastor Mark Miltimore says "What a thrill it brings me to see the eyes of the kids light up when they see the play area that Worlds of Wow designed and put together for us here at Hillside Church, in Mankato. It has become an incredible tool to help us tell the greatest story ever told."

Thanks Pastor Mark!

Gateway Church - Southlake, TX


The emphasis on reaching kids and families is evident at Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, as their new campus opened in November, 2010 that included a 67,000 square foot children’s building called God’s Amazement Park.

The amusement park theme was realized through a highly collaborative team effort. Ken & Mary Jackson, Children's pastors at the church, had a strong vision for creating a visually immersive experience for kids and parents, so the artists at Worlds of Wow came up with a full theming concept that includes multiple tracks of roller coasters that come out of ceilings, burst through walls and even adorn ceilings and walls in hallways and large group rooms.

The church made a significant effort to theme each area that stuck with the God's Amazement Park story arch, yet included artwork, scenes and destinations that included artwork and attractions that were age-appropriate.

As the pictures below show, this is one spectacular project. From the huge emphasis on making Check-in obvious and easy for first time guests to extra wide hallways to the large sculpted 3D characters and soft contained play units for different ages, God's Amazement Park shines as a fun, timeless and immersive experience that has kids excited to come and bring their friends.



The church has continued to see meteoric growth and, after opening this new children's building, has had over a 40% sustained increase in kids attending. Of course, this means that the parents are also now coming, adding to incredible growth for this dynamic church.

We love that the staff of Gateway chose Worlds of Wow to partner with them on creating God's Amazement Park. What a privilege for us to be part of such a Kingdom-focused church's strategy to reach kids and families!

If you've got questions about this project, feel free to contact us and we'll talk about creating an immersive environment for your church! Just contact us here!

Trinity Lutheran's New Play Attraction


This new soft-contained play unit will be a huge attraction for the kids ministry at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lisle, IL. We designed the play feature to blend with the big tree (built around a structural support column) as the center piece of the room. Worlds of Wow is the only church theming company that adds custom soft play and soft-contained play along with theming!

That's a big structural column now made to be a huge tree!
The play area is tall and wide, providing high play value!
Adding a play attraction is a great way to bring your community in during the week and introduce them to your church. To learn about how your church can use play attractions as an outreach tool,  contact us and we'll give you a free estimate and renders for your space!
