A Practical Guide to Maintaining Sacred Spaces on Limited Budgets
You got volunteered for the building committee, and now you're responsible for a 60-year-old building with a boiler that makes concerning noises, a roof that 'probably has a few years left,' and a congregation that notices instantly when the sanctuary is too cold but hasn't funded a maintenance reserve in a decade. Welcome to church facility management.
