Successful Church Building is a manual for your church on how to have a successful church building program. The author defines a successful church building program as “when you move into your new facilities, the pastor is still the pastor and the congregation is still the congregation.” To achieve this, the major tenets of success, as outlined in this book, are maintaining unity in the body of Christ and reducing the inherent risk and cost in the building process. Successful Church Building will clearly define the path and pitfalls that lie ahead and introduce the church to important unity building and money saving processes.

About the Author

Robert Knowles, a successful real-estate developer, experienced first hand the difficulties that face church building programs when he served as the Building Committee Chairman for his own church. He quickly realized the need churches have for information in these complicated areas. His experiences as a developer and having helped build many churches have been compiled into Successful Church Building to assist others that are going through church building programs and to help eliminate costly mistakes.

Customer Comments

One Arks seminar attendee commented that this book was worth over a thousand dollars!

"Great book!  Most important tool in a construction project.  A great tool for incorporating Christian principals in the worldly business of construction.  Offers great suggestions on protection of pastor - congregation relationship during a construction project to ensure unity in the building process from conception to completion."  (A reader from North Carolina, February)

"This book helped our congregation with our building program.   It has been an important part of our church growth."  (A reader from Florida, December)

"I'm so glad I found this book. It makes managing a church building project much easier. I especially like the parts about Soul Searching - which is the author's term for figuring out what to build. Buying this book is money well spent."   (A reader from North Carolina)

"This is a great book for churches that are thinking of building a new facility of any size. It is written from the Building Committee Chair's point of view. It walks you through the process from the vision through construction. It takes the fear out of a very complex project!"  (A reader from North Carolina, 2001)

"This book is incredible in its scope and insight. A church would pay several thousand dollars for a building consultant to impart the experience contained in this book. As the chairperson of my church's building committee, this book has become my operations manual for a successful program. "  (A reader from, Florida, 2001)

Not only did we write the book on it, but we teach it as well.
