Successful Master Planning

Has your church or ministry ever
considered a building or expansion program? Have you ever
stepped out in faith only to get bogged down in details? Is
your master plan little more than a "pretty picture" to
present to your congregation? In Master Planning: More than
Pretty Pictures, author Timothy L. Cool provides a
comprehensive primer to lead you through the myriad details,
processes, steps, and decisions that must be considered as
part of a church building project. With more than
twenty-three years of experience working with churches,
ministers, and their leadership, Cool addresses the issues
churches must confront and the questions that must be
answered at every critical step of the master planning
process and facilities expansion project. It includes
helpful information about topics such as land and site
selection, zoning, funding and financing, the architectural
review process, construction, and post-construction.
Providing realistic and practical applications, Master
Planning: More than Pretty Pictures communicates the
importance of creating a master plan the right way. Crafted
correctly, a solid master plan can bring unity, a renewed
sense of purpose, and financial stability to the church.
