Tim Songster of Cosco & Associates joins us to discuss his new book on healthy church design and how churches can best navigate through a building program.
Some highlights from today’s episode include:
Any problem that exists in a church is often magnified when a church enters a building program.
Successful, sustained change will not take place in a church without prayer.
Before deciding your church needs to build, you first need to truly understand what it needs to build.
Church building teams need to stay in constant communication with the congregation to keep momentum going throughout the process.
The seven keys we cover are:
Set your expectations correctly
Prepare spiritually
Prioritize your ministry needs
Prepare financially
Build excellent teams
Be a leader of hope and vision
Work hard to communicate with your church
