Preparing to Build

       A Guide to Church Construction  

In addition to authoring both Preparing to Build and Abundant Giving, I've been a church building consultant  and church capital campaign consultant since the late 90's. I have written numerous articles, and am a past contributing editor to Church & Worship Technology Magazine and other magazines. I am a seminar speaker and volunteer church building consultant for the NC Baptist Convention and occasionally blog time permitting on my Church Design and Construction Blog.

I have been involved with church building projects all over the USA for churches as small as under 100 people and as expensive as $12,000,000. Today, I am a partner in the firm Church Development Services and head up the consulting division.

In the mid-90’s I was "volunteered" to serve as the building committee chair person of our church. Knowing I did not really know much about how to build a church, I began an odyssey of learning that continues even to this day. One of the things that I quickly discovered was that there were few available resources and little help to be had, especially if you were not part of a main-line denomination. My mission became one of ministry to the church in this important area – to encourage and equip the church to help it win souls for the Kingdom of God.

I know that I am doing that which He has equipped and called me to do: to provide your church with the experience, knowledge, and the best practices learned from talking to hundreds of churches who are contemplating building programs.
