Sample An excerpt from the resource
Sample only. The full resource is delivered after purchase.
You got volunteered for the building committee, and now you're responsible for a 60-year-old building with a boiler that makes concerning noises, a roof that "probably has a few years left," and a congregation that notices instantly when the sanctuary is too cold but hasn't funded a maintenance reserve in a decade. Welcome to church facility management.
Here's what nobody told you: most church buildings in America are managed by volunteers with zero facilities training, operating with budgets that would make a school district maintenance director weep. The average age of Protestant church buildings is 55 years. The average annual maintenance budget is around $6 per square foot — roughly half what commercial buildings spend. You're not imagining the gap between what your building needs and what you have to work with. The gap is real.
This guide exists because you shouldn't have to figure this out through expensive trial and error.
Who this is for
Church volunteers serving on building committees or as trustees who are responsible for aging facilities with tight budgets and congregations expecting everything to work perfectly
