Core Changing

In this episode of The Paragon Angle, Donnie Brawner (Owner & CEO of Paragon 360®) breaks down the 3 critical shifts churches must understand to create engaging environments that attract and retain the next generation. 

With over 1,000 church projects completed nationwide, we’re seeing a major transformation in how worship spaces are designed—and what today’s audiences truly value. 

In this episode, you’ll discover: 

     • Why Gen Z and millennials prioritize community, connection, and experience 
     • How gathering spaces, kids’ environments, and church security impact growth 
     • Why your online church presence is now essential—not optional 
     • How digital experiences drive in-person attendance 
     • Why the “main attraction” in church is changing—and what that means for design 
     • How to create powerful, integrated AVL (audio, video, lighting) environments 

Today’s church isn’t just a place—it’s an experience. From worship production and church design to streaming and community spaces, everything must work together to engage people both in-person and online. 

If you're planning a church renovation, new construction project, or looking to better connect with younger generations, this is a must-watch.
