In an era when many congregations face tightening budgets, shrinking attendance, recruiting challenges, and the rising cost of professional services, the physical stewardship of a church building can feel like an insurmountable burden. Yet the sanctuary, fellowship hall, classrooms, and grounds are more than mere structures—they are sacred spaces where worship, fellowship, and ministry unfold. Neglected facilities send a silent message of decline; well-kept ones proclaim vitality and care.
This book is written for pastors, elders, deacons, and lay leaders who believes in being a good steward of the blessings God has given us You do not need a full-time custodian, a paid facilities manager, or an endless line item in the budget to keep your church clean, safe, and welcoming. What you need is a proper structured Facility Maintenance Commission—a dedicated team of volunteers who accept shared ownership of the physical plant as an act of worship.
