It’s no secret that people are influenced by their environments. The places we live, work, and serve all shape our lives. We believe that facilities are tools that if properly used by the church, can add tremendous value to their ministry, thus having a greater influence on the people involved.
Every church is unique – no two are the same. Through on-site evaluation, Martin Planning Group leads the discovery of your ministry components and develops a ministry facility program that is tailored to your church. This step will equip your team with the knowledge of what space you need and diagnose the pressure points of what you might lack to effectively execute and meet your ministry goals. It will serve as as the nuts and bolts of your future plans.
Have you ever completed an initial project, only to realize down the road you wish you had done the first one differently? Master Planning eliminates that pitfall and serves as a facility roadmap for your church to effectively plan for generations ahead. It will also serve as “salt to your conversation” as you cast vision and launch funding initiatives.
Do you know what it’s like to be an authentic guest at your church? When a family chooses to visit, are you properly prepared to receive them and make their visit enjoyable? Most leaders are unable to view their facilities and ministries as guests view them. Our team performs an unbiased evaluation of your ministry’s first impression to guests. This in-depth analysis provides a break-through insight to welcome guests and create an impression that fosters connection.
One out of every 2 churches have drawings rolled up in a closet for projects that were never built. Developing a strategy that is affordable for your congregation is of utmost importance. Pursuing projects beyond your means, places unnecessary stress and strain on the church leadership and congregation. At the same time, the space that you pursue must impact ministry. Understanding what you can safely afford and establishing a realistic project budget is of utmost importance to ensure the success of your project. What is a heathy budget? How much can you raise or borrow? Our team will perform an analysis of your finances to answer these questions and guide you in establishing a wise financial approach to your project.
