INTRODUCTION
“I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”
Hebrews 2:11-12
A church is a place where we go every Sunday to praise and listen to the word of God. It is a home for every Christian family to worship, to serve and to fellowship.
People come altogether and spend time at God’s Holy place. We come to make Him exalted in every shout of praises we are offering. God is delighted by His son’s adoration to Him, and we, His people want to be with Him always.
In the old testament of the Bible, the Israelites have the Ark of Covenant. The Ark of Covenant

As Gropius Walter says “A modern harmonic and lively architecture is the visible sign of authentic democracy”. Modern architecture shows democracy in any form of design and architectural designs, some often equally defying such classification.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Historically churches started from the Ark of the Covenant that was developed into a bigger temple and there came synagogues that were used as place for Jesus to worship and study God. After the generation times of synagogues, disciples went of Israel to share the good news of Gospel. The Barbaric tribes in Europe were the first Born-Again Christian in the west. There was a rapid spread of Christianity all over the world because of the colonization from the European countries, such as Spain and England.
From the colonization, many churches were built, different doctrines were formed and many people believed.
Designs of churches vary in sizes, colours, shapes and styles exterior and interior.

Religions take a hold on societies in different ways. Christianity started as a revitalization movement against the Roman hierarchy, and was comprised of mostly woman and the poor. The Roman Empire took up most of the Mediterranean and North Africa. With the death of Jesus, around 33 CE, came a new, unique, religion that was a spin off of Judaism but they believed that Jesus was the foretold Messiah. Although they were persecuted, Christianity took hold in the ancient world because it offered salvation, was fair to all, and preached love and peace.
Imagine a movement starting with just 12 ordinary people that has grown to influence billions across the globe, shaping art, culture, and history for over two millennia. That's the story of Christianity. Christianity originated in the 1st century AD, with its roots in Judea, part of the Roman Empire. It began as a Jewish sect founded on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, who followers believed was the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. After Jesus' crucifixion and reported resurrection, his followers spread his teachings.
In the early 1600’s when Natives had control over land, their religion was seen to be very different going from tribe to tribe. They all had a strong religion with many beliefs, rituals and traditions. For example, before and during a hunt, they would pray over their food and pray for a good hunt. When Europeans began to arrive in North America, that began to change. The Europeans felt strongly about their religion which was Christianity.
“Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth Your Spirit and we shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy Your consolations. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.”
Throughout history many universal religions have spread throughout the world. From cities to cities, countries to countries and so on. Christianity and Buddhism are two of the top universal religions that were practiced and spread throughout the early world. A series of events lead to the early and quick spread of Christianity and Buddhism throughout the early world. As turmoil engulfed the Jews in Judea, Christianity arose. The teaching of Christianity began with a Jew named Jesus. At the age of 30, Jesus began preaching the word of God to villagers near the Sea of Galilee. As Jesus preached, significant amounts of groups crowded around him to learn about his teachings, especially when word spread that he had performed acts of healing. Soon Jesus later formed a group of disciples or close followers to help spread his teachings.
Christianity started as a religion in first century AD and spread through Roman empires. It is said that the religion itself started in Palestine. The stories of Jesus and his disciples is depicted in a book called the Bible. The Christian religion gives us stories from the Bible, pertaining to how we ought to treat others and bases for how we should live our lives. All of these bases are given and as a reward of following those bases you are promised a place up in heaven. If you sin and don't expect your sins you go to

The Ark of the Covenant is a holy relic told to hold the two tablets that have the ten commandments in it. God told Moses to make it that is what he did. It was a physical object like the Golden Cow, but God told the people to make it. The Ark helped the Israelites through tough times. It was so powerful that if certain people were to look at it they would die. One day the Israelites were taking the Ark to from Shiloh to Even-Ezra and it was captured by the Philistines. The Philistines then took it to one of their temples that worshipped their god Dagon. One day the Philistine checked on the covenant and found it turned upside down with one of the angels broken off. They then fixed the angel and set it up right. The next day they
The Christian religion began around 2000 years ago in Judea, which is now Israel. Christianity began with Jesus of Nazareth and his disciples. Jesus traveled from village to village, teaching in the synagogues, and healing those who were sick and suffering. He challenged the authorities to

One of the world’s largest religion begun with Jesus, a Jew, who was believed to be the Messiah and brought change to society. During the time he was alive he was hated by many and after being crucified his followers, most importantly Paul, had spread his teachings which had eventually created Christianity. Members worshiped in churches, they believed to live a life/love like Jesus and studied scriptures. As growth continued, Christian monasticism began to rise which brought a different way of living as a Christian; a life strongly devoted to God.

As people known, to use renewable resource and to save energy or comfortable indoor environment is far from the overall picture. Because construction mentioned above is an industry which include many aspects such as land use and application of advanced technology, etc. Therefore if we want to define what is green building we should recognize the whole industrial chain included each aspects and unintended environment, social, economic, consequence brought possibly of complex activity. Kats (2003) in his article stated that the sustainable or green building should deal with those key points: environment, resource & energy consumption, impact on people, financial impact and the world at large which is a broader set of issues such as ground water recharge or global warming, as well governmental policies are typically concerned about (Kats, 2003, P. 1). And another institute, Office of the federal Environmental Executive (2003) defined green building as the practice of increasing the efficiency with which
The role and purpose of the Church is to create a community of people who believe in the same faith of God. The Church is a foundation of the faith in God. The Church allowed people to unite on common grounds and follow the words of God. The place of worship made people feel accountable because they were in it together.
