"From concept to completion, your church will not undertake a more demanding and complicated task in terms of money, risk and effort than in a building program."   Stephen Anderson, Preparing to Build

"Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established" (Proverbs 15:22).

Assessment

A Feasibility Assessment is a proven way for your church to seek wise counsel prior to construction. It will help equip your church leaders for your church construction project by rendering an experienced, qualified opinion on the overall project feasibility; the achievability of the church’s plans; and the church's financial ability to build - before the church commits to the expensive steps of design or construction.  Based on information provided by the church, an assessment is an effective way to get a church building expert's time to make sure your church has not missed a critical step or failed to consider all the options before it commits to its construction plans.
 

Needs & Feasibility

More comprehensive than a Feasibility Assessment, a Needs and Feasibility Study takes your church though the process of: gathering and objectively analyzing information regarding ministry and community needs; the church's financial ability;  land issues; church financing & construction options; and other issues specific to your construction project to determine the optimum building solution that will meet both ministry needs and  the church's financial ability.  Rather than merely rendering an opinion, the consultant will make a considered, qualified report and recommendation to the church consistent with the findings of the needs and feasibility study.

Capital Campaign / Stewardship Training

A capital stewardship campaign is a key part of nearly every church's construction & financial strategy. Although a capital campaign will raise a great deal of money for building, the term capital campaign can be a bit of a misnomer, as a stewardship campaign is less about money than it is about spiritual understanding and growth.  A capital campaign is not high pressure sales tactics or imposing guilt in an attempt to "fleece the sheep"; rather it is a path of spiritual growth and coming together in agreement and understanding of God's perfect plan of providence and stewardship.  Most churches will see spiritual growth in many members in addition to raising 1 to 3 times their current annual giving over a 3-year period ( in addition to regular giving).

Building Committee Training

Very few church leaders or building committee members are truly equipped to lead the church through a construction or building program in a manner that minimizes time, cost and risk. In Proverbs we are told every purpose is established by counsel and that the plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance. While your church may elect to "do it themselves", there is a great value and peace of mind to having a church construction professional provide training and guidance to the church's long range planning or building committee.  There are many options in obtaining training  for your committee to help equip the saints for this important work.  Please contact us to discuss options.
 

Financing Package

Regretfully, most churches are unable to build without borrowing money for their building program.  When it is time to obtain church construction financing, a properly prepared financial package will shorten the time to get a church loan approval while also saving thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.  Much more than just financial statements, a good financial package will help the church negotiate both lower construction loan costs and a lower interest rate, while improving the chances of getting the needed financing approved for its building program.  This can be included as part of a Needs & Feasibility engagement or delivered as a stand-alone service. Please contact us to discuss options.
