Making Church Buildings Work

A Handbook for Managing and Developing Church Buildings for Mission and Ministry

Author: Maggie Durran

The scenario is all too familiar: a small congregation burdened with responsibility for a church built for the needs of another century. From medieval village churches to the vast amphitheatres built for famous Victorian preachers, expensive and unwieldy buildings are the bane of many a church council or PCC. This intensely practical book shows a clear way forward for such churches in suggesting how churches can be adapted for shared use with community, social or business groups: playgroups, baby clinics, youth clubs, day care centres, lunch clubs, offices and so on. Advice on each stage of development is included, from identifying local needs to arranging insurance.
