About This Podcast:

In Session 1 of the Church Building Projects Masterclass, Phil Taylor will walk you through the moment many growing churches eventually face… realizing that a building project may be on the horizon. Rather than rushing straight into design or construction, this session focuses on the strategic groundwork that leads to healthier outcomes. From clarifying the story and mission of your church to conducting needs assessments, master planning, and evaluating feasibility, Phil introduces the key early steps that help churches approach a building project with clarity, wisdom, and the right team in place.

During seasons of church growth, having adequate space becomes a constant pressure. Adding services is one of the best strategies you can engage in to improve the health of your church: It forces you to multiply the number of leaders in your church, increase volunteers, and create simpler systems.

But there comes a point in time when you are approaching that critical mass in all of the services you can reasonably add, and it’s time to consider building or expanding a facility.

So, what do you do when you are staring down that reality?

In this free masterclass series, The Unstuck Group, PlainJoe Studios and friends will walk you through it from start to finish.

Learn how to approach a necessary building project in a strategic way that leads to the healthiest outcomes.

Whether you need to build for the first time, expand or update an existing facility, renovate a building you were gifted, or construct a campus’ first permanent home, you will walk away with a clearer understanding of all the elements you need to consider, and the logical order to take them in:

1. The first meeting you need to have & what to bring
2. Crash course in architecture & master planning
3. Crash course in good signage, graphics and theming
4. Wise planning for audio, visual and lighting
5. Interior design basics to save you money down the road
6. Generosity initiatives that work
7. Selecting the right banking partner
8. Sustaining momentum after you move in

In this 6-hour online series, learn everything you need to know about the types of church building projects and the various issues you need to consider.

At PlainJoe, a Storyland Studio, we partner with churches, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and educational environments to create unforgettable strategic, interactive, and spatial stories that lift the Spirit.
