Expansion, for many church leaders, is a once-in-a-lifetime endeavor – and one of the most challenging, both financially and logistically. Building a culture of generosity and engaging professional partners early on can help ensure a smooth fundraising and building process. In this session, Madison-based church builder NCI-Roberts Construction will share fundraising strategies and resources, and preliminary services that general contractors and architects can provide; and Fulton Church in Edgerton, Wisconsin, will share lessons learned from its recent journey of expansion. NCI-Roberts will explain different building design and construction options and the phases of church design and construction. Then, Fulton Church will detail its own fundraising efforts, how its addition completed in January 2018 has impacted its congregation and community, and pastor’s tips for construction projects. Attendees will leave with ideas for how to use building funds efficiently, how to engage the congregation throughout the building process, and more.
Presented by: Lisa Sotis, Project Development Manager and Jace Jontz, Senior Project Manager, NCI-Roberts and Pastor Larry MacKenzie, Fulton Church
