Essential Information for Building a Church

Today’s churches are not just places of worship — they also serve as gathering places for the local community and as venues for milestone events, such as weddings and baptisms. These multifunctional spaces need to be built with high-quality, durable, and long-lasting materials that can be customized to meet a congregation’s needs. Our metal church kit can deliver all these and more.

Keep reading as we share essential details about building your church with Armstrong Steel metal building kits.

Metal buildings are not just for warehouses.

Gone are the days when prefabricated metal building kits were only used for industrial structures such as warehouses. At Armstrong Steel, we can design versatile prefabricated metal buildings for all kinds of purposes, including schools, community centers, and even homes. Tell us about the size for your congregation and what features or amenities you’d like to include, and our friendly building consultants will help you customize a church building that meets your specific needs.

Build your church building quickly with metal.

Our prefabricated metal buildings are designed to be easy to erect, even with significant customization. In contrast, traditional construction methods using wood, brick, and concrete can take much longer. We use cutting-edge technologies and building practices to design and build a metal church kit quickly and cost-effectively. You can count on timely fabrication and delivery. Your building will be ready to assemble and erect as soon as you receive it.

Quick assembly

We also provide comprehensive assembly drawings and anchor bolt patterns customized for your project. Plus, you won’t have to worry about cutting, adjusting, or welding any part from your metal church kit because all major connections are pre-punched and ready to bolt together. Components are also numbered and pre-cut to correspond with the drawings. Simply follow our step-by-step erection guide to install your metal church, and then customize it with your desired finishes, roof styles, and wall styles.

Create a worship-friendly church building.

Armstrong Steel metal building kits are flexible, bringing a lot of benefits to your church.

More layout options

Our pre-engineered metal church kits offer column-free interior layouts, providing more flexibility for group activities and worship services. Without obstructing pillars, congregants can have an unobstructed view. The open layout also allows you to use your church for community events and other social gatherings as necessary. This level of design freedom is not possible with traditional wood construction.

Additionally, the flexible layout allows for larger openings for doors and windows. Larger doors are a safety feature that lets people enter and exit the church easily, especially during emergencies. Meanwhile, big windows enable more natural light to illuminate your indoor spaces. This could lead to energy savings down the road.

A building that grows with your congregation

Our metal church kit comes in modular framing systems. This means we can design your building to make future expansions easier. Metal buildings offer endless options for length and width extensions so you can add floors or more rooms, like offices and storage.

Meeting your religion’s aesthetic requirements

In most cases, people won’t be able to tell that your church building is made from metal.

Customize the church building’s look

Customizing your church building is easy when you buy an Armstrong Steel metal church kit. Our building consultants will work closely with you from the get-go to hear your aesthetic requirements and design a structure that can meet them. Our pre-engineered metal building systems can be incorporated with almost any construction material, so you won’t have to worry about your church looking like a warehouse.

More options for finishes and features

While wood and brick are traditional choices for church exteriors, our prefabricated metal building kits offer greater flexibility in design. You can customize the wall design with various materials like brick, stucco, CMU, or wood siding to create an attractive facade. Our buildings can also support a wide range of roof designs, including shingles or metal panels, allowing you to complete your church with a distinctive look.

Save money when you build your church.

Choosing a metal church kit is more cost-effective than you think, especially when you get yours from Armstrong Steel.

Avoid waste and save

We optimize our use of materials by designing and engineering prefabricated metal building kits in our state-of-the-art factory. We control everything, so we optimize resource usage and charge you only for the actual materials we used in your project.

Lower labor costs

All components in your steel building kit are pre-engineered to fit together seamlessly, reducing the need for extensive on-site labor and lowering overall construction costs. This also streamlines assembly to help you save money and time.

Durable, long-lasting church

Steel-frame churches can withstand the elements more effectively than wood-frame structures. This material can resist pests, mold, and various natural events, from earthquakes to hurricanes.
