Different parking? A different church life schedule? Temporary suspension of certain activities? Different worship or discipling locations? Depending on the size and scope of your building project, your congregation will face changes during and after construction. We have provided a useful link to Ken Blanchard's practical tips on helping groups embrace change. www.kenblanchard.com

Beyond the practical tips from Blanchard, you should be encouraging your people to live out passages like Ephesians 4:1-3 as you work through a building program. Of all people equipped for change, Christians begin and continue their spiritual journey through the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ. The grace of God evidenced in preferring/serving others, denying-self, etc. beautifully equips Christians to successfully go through changes to facilities and church family life.

God can use changes in facilities to bring about Christ-like changes in the congregation.
