| Churches are usually considered commercial buildings and would be designed by an Architect and Engineers. There is a lot more to designing these facilities than simply creating some drawings, if nothing else issues such as zoning ordinance and code compliance typically must be addressed. And try getting a permit for commercial construction without drawings stamped by registered Architects and Engineers, that usually is not going to happen. Sorry if this sounds dismissive, but I've been involved in too many projects where I was brought in for acoustics or audio/AV and when I first looked at the floor plans I had to start asking things like where the electrical and mechanical rooms were, where rated walls were and so on. It is a real pain to develop a nice concept and get everybody excited and then have to go back and almost start over once you realize all the required things that aren't shown but have to be accommodated.
If you are just trying to get some conceptual ideas down the SketchUp is hard to beat.   |
