Providing space and resources for the body of Christ to better connect with their Creator and one another.
More than a Building
We were designed by God to connect personally and deeply with Him and others. We connect with God through His Word, prayer, and the truth-filled, loving fellowship we enjoy with other believers. We trust that this is happening every week within church buildings, but the “Church” is a living, breathing body of Christ. We need spaces to foster connections outside of weekly church gatherings.
As a graphic designer, I believe God has tasked me to make His truth beautiful and accessible. My vision for Created to Connect is to give local churches more avenues to minister grace and truth within their community. Along with ministry partners, I would love to provide a beautiful, neutral, and non-threatening space that could be used for many different ministry avenues. I picture addiction recovery meetings, ministry training sessions, foster care or adoption discussion groups, or simply a space to meet up with a friend over coffee to talk about Jesus.
Created to Connect Benefits
Community
Comfortable and inviting space to host small groups, Bible studies, training sessions, and more. Tables are available for work projects, space is provided to display materials, and a TV screen is accessible for use with PowerPoints or videos.
Counseling
ACBC Certified Christian counselors give God’s truth in loving and practical ways within private sessions for individuals and couples.
Resources
Devotional and Bible study resources, curriculum, Scripture artwork, and more are all available to look through. Spend as much time as you like in a cozy corner studying or spending one-on-one time with a friend making use of available resources.
Become a Partner
We are pursuing like-minded ministries or individuals who want to invest more fully in this endeavor. We hope to utilize commercial space at 1968 Oak Ridge Highway in Clinton, TN. This intersection provides quick access to Oak Ridge, Oliver Springs, and Clinton.
The following spaces within the Created to Connect building are available options to consider. This financial investment will allow us to offer the community space to those who can’t afford to give financially but would benefit from this space.

Private Office Space
Are you looking to rent your own office space for ministry use? We are specifically looking for certified Christian counselors, but are open to other ministry endeavors that align with our statement of faith and practice. There will be two private office spaces available for rent.
Private office spaces also have access to the regular community space. Accessible bathrooms are available as well as the use of a sink, mini-fridge, and additional storage.
Community Space
We would love to partner with a few churches or ministries aligning with our statement of faith, that want to budget rental monies to make use of the open community space on a weekly or monthly basis. This might be for anything from regular training sessions, addiction recovery meetings, crafting, Bible studies, or more.
The main office space will include two bathrooms, storage, a kitchen-style sink, comfortable seating, tables and chairs, internet, and a screen that can be used for video or PowerPoints.

My name is Sarah Roberts, the owner of Reflecting the Designer. The Created to Connect Space will be the business address for my design business where I can work.
