Be Prepared
The Boy Scout slogan "Be Prepared" is
like any great life principle. It is simple and easy to understand.
However, considerable
effort is required when churches confront the problem of meeting their
space needs.
So often church leaders go through a process
poorly prepared. They begin their effort believing that their lack
of preparation will be "divinely" resolved.
Knowledgeable and experienced consultants can assist congregations
with formulating a facility expansion or a relocation plan and provide
the church with workable alternatives.
Oftentimes, I encounter expansion or relocation plans that are based
on parameters that are doomed for failure from the start. The failure
is a result of using bad assumptions concerning costs to relocate or
expand or not planning ahead especially in the financial area. Significant
effort is lost when looking at property or buildings if the church discovers
that their relocation plan or expansion is not possible.
Our work with churches has moved from simple
real estate transactions of buildings and land sales or purchases,
to helping churches work with
architects and lenders experienced with churches who can confidently
advise a church with solid facts to allow a church to "Be Prepared".
Formulating a workable plan is mandatory!
Give us a call to let us know how we can serve you.
