STEPS IN THE
CHURCH CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
1. Determine needs
Understand the congregation's needs through surveys or
meetings. Consider desired amenities, seating capacity, and the overall vision
for the new space.
2. Form a committee
Create a building committee to oversee the planning
and construction of the project.
3. Establish a budget
Create a budget and check financing options to avoid
money issues.
4. Choose an architect and builder
Vet potential architects and builders, and then choose
the right ones for the project.
5. Design and plan
The architect and design process ensures the church
space is inviting, functional, and true to the ministry vision.

regularly during the project.

harmonious and inviting atmosphere.
It's important to select the right people for the job
to avoid a dysfunctional group.
A clear budget will help minimize stress throughout
the process.
