Archive for the ‘church raising money’ Category

This week I had someone ask me a great question.  “How has the change in the economy changed the way a church prepares for construction?”

Obviously the preparation you need to do to borrow money has been stepped up and there are far more church construction “experts” now than any other time in history, so you have to do your homework on potential partners.  Instead of me sharing all my ideas though,  I want to hear what you have to say about how you might prepare you church if you were about to build.

So what do you think?  Here are some topics to get you started but feel free to go outside the boundaries:  

  • Funding
  • Capital Campaigns
  • Inflation
  • Vision Casting
  • Community Impact

I’m looking forward to seeing your comments.

This is one of the many creative ideas that Athens Church is using to create emotional buy-in from their church for their renovation project. Raising money can be more about life change and trusting God than church buildings… if you do it right.

Here is a quick video about how banks view your existing debt when you are looking to secure funding for new construction or renovation.
