Doing the First Things First
Solomon wrote, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven”. He also wrote, “Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established.
The principle of first things first would dictate that before you begin designing your new church, you must objectively ask and answer some very important questions that will define the scope, budget and timing of your building program. Believe it or not, answers are easy - the trick is in knowing what questions to ask, and knowing how to map those answers into a building plan.This is what God has called and equipped us to do, to come along side of your church to provide this necessary experience.
Unlike many architectural firms, we will not engage in the design of a church plan that is not within the financial ability of the church. Millions of dollars are wasted each year by churches on building plans that never get built because the church could not afford them. We will not be party to such a waste of Kingdom resources.
For your protection, we will ask and answer the questions that will define in detail:
- The building requirements to support the vision and mission
- The land requirements to support the vision and mission
- The financial ability of the church and how it will pay for the building program
