Planning to build a church building, educational space, a fellowship hall, a gym, a family life center, or just do some renovations to the existing facility.  Below are some helps (downloads) and suggestions.

Suggestions:

1. Download and work through the materials listed below.  They are from the NAMB and are free.  They offer basic guidance for the building committee/team during the building process.

2. If you plan to use Baptists volunteers and or Baptist Builders, you need to plan 18 to 24 months in advance.

3. ASAP contact Appalachian Regional Ministry and then place your project request with us and with The Bridge/NAMB.

4. Keep ARM updated during the process.
