Preparing To Build

Blueprint-First Floor

Do you have the resources to build?

Should you relocate or stay where you are?    

Should you borrow the money or try a Capital Campaign? 

How does a Capital Campaign work?

How do you find answers to these questions and others?

 

 Wisdom dictates that the cost should be counted before entering into any enterprise. The decision to build or relocate a ministry could impact the effectiveness of a ministry for decades. Preparing To Build is a Seminar designed to help find answers to those questions. This is done by involving the entire congregation in the knowledge gathering and fund raising process. This seminar will help you better understand the necessary steps to take in order to make wise decisions on possible future relocation, construction or fund raising projects. Personal ownership can be acheived by the entire congregation through their involvement in the process.

Roy’s experience in major building or renovation projects in each of the 4 churches he pastored, along with his 8 years as the primary fund raiser for Free Will Baptist Bible College, gives him unique insight in how local churches and parachurch organizations can be successful in raising funds and moving forward.

Invite him to share, in a seminar format, with your church leadership in a Stewardship Weedend.

Invite him to your local association, Christian Camp, Christian School and other non-profit parachurch organizations.
