    Your Guide to Preparing & Planning for a Church Building Program

    “One of life’s most painful moments comes when we must admit that we didn’t do our homework, that we are not prepared.”  ~ Merlin Olsen

    Very few churches are equipped with the experience or training required to lead the church through a building program in a manner that will ensure the best outcome.  In other words, what you don’t know will hurt you.

    Written by an experienced church building consultant, Preparing to Build is nearly 200 pages of real-world practical information and building guidelines – information that you need to know in the months or years before you engage the congregation, architect,  builder, or banker.
