A New Addition to The LIVE Collection:
Meet The Keystone
Architect-designed. Ministry-focused. Built around the way churches grow.
At LIVE Design Group, we have the opportunity to work alongside churches at many different stages of their journey. Some are preparing for their first permanent home. Others have outgrown their current spaces or are trying to understand what their next chapter could look like. Each church brings its own story, but we often hear a similar question: “Where do we begin?”
We created The LIVE Collection to help answer that question. These pre-designed church building concepts give leadership teams something tangible to explore together—a way to start talking about their needs, priorities, and possibilities without having to begin with a blank page.
Today, we’re excited to introduce The Keystone, the third design in the Collection. Alongside The Foundation and The Cornerstone, it offers another starting point for churches looking ahead.
The Foundation | A Place to Begin
The Foundation brings a 515-seat worship auditorium together with gathering and next-generation spaces in an efficient layout. Thoughtful connections between spaces, clear circulation, and flexible support areas help make the building welcoming and practical for the people using it. It’s a starting point for churches that want to make good use of their space while creating room for ministry and relationships to grow.
The Cornerstone | A Place to Connect
The Cornerstone centers on a 501-seat worship auditorium, with a welcoming gathering area that gives people a place to connect before and after services. The fan-shaped auditorium supports visibility and a shared worship experience, while dedicated ministry spaces and clear pathways help people find their way. From arriving for the first time to staying for a conversation afterward, the design considers how people experience the building together.
The Keystone | A Place to Grow Together
Our newest design brings worship, fellowship, children’s ministry, youth activities, and staff offices together in one connected facility. An expansive lobby provides room to gather, while dedicated children’s classrooms and a children’s worship area support younger families. Flexible youth and multipurpose spaces create opportunities for use throughout the week.
With The Keystone, we wanted to bring those different parts of church life together—giving people of different ages places to learn, worship, serve, and build relationships.
A Starting Point for Your Church’s Conversation
Your church’s mission, ministries, property, and resources will shape what you need from a building. As you explore the Collection, you may recognize a layout that feels familiar to your vision, discover a connection between spaces you hadn’t considered, or find yourself asking a new question. Those are useful conversations to have early.
Having a concept in front of your team can help you talk through what matters most. How much gathering space do you need? What happens in the building during the week? Which ministries need to be close together? What flexibility would help you serve people as your church grows?
Our team can help you explore whether a Collection design aligns with those needs and what your next steps could look like.
The LIVE Collection draws on the same experience and collaborative approach behind our LIVE Process. For churches that need to explore a more individualized direction, a LIVE Session brings your team and ours together to listen, ask questions, and develop ideas in real time. The Collection gives us another way to begin that relationship.
We’re excited to share The Keystone and continue growing this resource for churches. Whether you’re just beginning to dream or actively discussing your next facility, we’d love to hear what you’re working toward.
