Top Responsibilities Of A Church Building Committee

By Beryl Dalton


Every successful venture that we have seen all started as plans. Planning is a fundamental need in organizing any kind of activity. Without it, problems and errors may happen along the way. Most of these can be addressed in advanced if a solid plan is created. This is the reason why there are individuals in charge of focusing on this matter.

For a community of believers, building a church is necessary. This is the place where they gather, express their faith and worship God along with the other members. The construction of the place is so delicate that a church building committee has to be organized.

The front runners of this group are those who have the technical skills for construction and those who are head of their community like the pastors and ministers. Together, then ensures the good flow of the creation. Here are some of the things that they are responsible for.

Facilitates the overall construction of the establishments. The committee is headed by a chairman who supervises the entire process. He holds meetings, sets agenda, and heads important discussions related to the project. They plan and considers every aspect of the construction and creates contingencies in case a problem will occur on their main blue print.

Making of project design. A design is important to ensure that every detail of the construction is looked into. This is where they planners deal with the specifics. From the needed material to the tools and number of people that need to be hired to do the manual labor, everything is addressed here.

Handling of the budget. The design will reveal the necessary things to be bought. It is then the role of the finance committee to check the materials required for the construction, identify the needed expense and cross reference it to the money that they have at hand. They are the ones who inform the group if there is a need to raise more money to buy all the needed tools.

Updating the community. Also, they ensure that every member of the community is informed. The money used for the building is theirs after all. Any progress will be announced. Also, if there are events that requires the cooperation of the members to forward the project, the committee ensures that they are well relayed.

Getting funds. There are times when the money received from the collection during mass or gathering is not enough. In this case, the committee finds ways to raise funds by organizing some activities. It could be in a form of a bazaar, an exhibit and the like. All the amount gained in here will be used for the project.

Just because you are not a member of this head group does not mean that you cannot participate. The church needs proactive members who have the heart to help. If you think you can contribute something, go ahead and let them know. They may need people today for an event as we speak. Be a volunteer.
