Summary
Opening with a compelling discussion of the Christian church's core business, architect Fred Batterton considers different types of church property and their impact on mission, enabling us to assess whether our church buildings are a help or a hindrance. Drawing on his wealth of expertise Fred Batterton then explores with us the opportunities that buildings can offer, processes that enable development, options for financing and the outcomes that can be, expected. This book offers answers to the following questions: What is the Church's core business? What property do you have? How can property serve mission? Is my building a help or a hindrance? What are our opportunities? Who has the skills to help? What are the basic design considerations? What are the processes? How can we pay for it? How should we proceed? The book is richly, illustrated with 77 color illustrations and follows a logical sequence of understanding, concluding with frequently asked questions and a call to action. Show less...
