Start with Why — Ministry Vision
Church Construction Best Practices: Part 1
Church buildings are tools for mission—not monuments. The most effective projects start by answering one question:
“What is God calling our church to do next?”
The goal is not just more space, but more impact—whether that means welcoming young families, creating discipleship environments, or fostering community.
Too many projects start with a floor plan. Start instead with prayer, purpose, and people.
Construction doesn’t shape vision; vision should shape construction. Every decision downstream will either serve the mission or distract from it.
Key Takeaway: Gather your leadership team and name the top three ministry goals this facility must support.
