If you’re ever in a position where you are trying to make a decision between facility expansion and maintaining your current level of ministry, the answer is a no-brainer! Never sacrifice ministry for building! For years I have consulted with churches in good economic times and bad. The cardinal rule here is that God blesses [...]
Other than the obvious items like plans, specs and permits, the church should have determined their ministry mission. In other words what is their targeted ministry outreach? If it is families with young children, then perhaps they should consider expansion of classroom and fellowship area. The only way to be successful in your due diligence [...]
Obviously there are numerous indicators that you should consider before expanding your church facility. Indicators such as sustained growth, financial stability and resources are but a few. Perhaps overlooked most is the spiritual side of the equation. Has your church fellowship been diligent in seeking God’s will in His direction for your church? If the [...]
If you are considering church facility expansion, now’s the time to get moving with the process and here’s the reason why. Contractors, architects and engineers are looking for work. There are deals to be made if you have the expertise to know how to go about them. Unfortunately however, hard economic times are often a [...]
CHURCH BUILDING IS A DISTINCTIVE TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION. Have a contractor on your building committee? How about an architect? Well good for the church but you may be better off without them running the program.

Would you [...]
When considering a church construction project always remember that there is a right way and a wrong way to go about the process. A common mistake churches make is thinking they have sufficient expertise within the congregation to build their own building. They falsely assume that this will “save the church money.” Rarely does this happen! A church building [...]
Before you hire an architect to design your new church building, make sure your leadership has defined their vision and fully understand your ministry mission. Churches often build buildings that they think they need but can’t utilize fully. The net effect of building without first understanding the ministry driven need, or the mission, often results in a [...]
Does your church need a new building and you don’t know where to start? That is a very common problem among churches and many times a lot of time lapses because they don’t know where to begin.
THE PATH THROUGH CONSTRUCTION CAN SEEM DAUNTING, BUT:
Your Church Rep will develop a plan suited to meet your individual facility [...]
How then do we get started?
Hold on a moment! Brother Jones, one of your wisest building committee members, has the answer to that…
“Well, Brothers and Sisters… I’ve been through this before and the first thing we need to do is hire an architect.”
W-R-O-N-G!! You don’t start with an architect… you start with a Needs [...]
“...to have completed our new headquarters within budget is an enormous achievement and one for which we will be permanently indebted to you.”
