What if you came to your next church purchasing decision armed with all the information you needed to make a wise choice for your congregation's needs?
Our mission here at Church Central is to equip leaders to grow healthier churches. As part of that we are offering three brand new special reports to educate you on church furnishings:
Seating Solutions for Your Church
Each of these special reports is designed to help you be a good steward of both your congregation's funds and your time. We have done all the research for you regarding these types of purchases. More than that, the guides are free. Just download the PDF and you'll have a valuable resource right on your desktop. Or you can print out the report for yourself or committee members.
Not only do these special reports offer an education in pulpit furnishings, baptisteries and seats, they also center around church health. As with Church Central's other resources, we are committed to what your church should be doing to live up to God's plan in each of the six purposes outlined in Acts: worship, fellowship ministry, discipleship, prayer and evangelism Is your church all it can be in each area? How can the everyday choices you make regarding furniture and building or remodeling fixtures impact your church's health?
The average American is accustomed to the "quality" of the 21st century. If, on average, we drive a $30,000 car, live in a $150,000 home and work in a $2.5 million office facility, why should we want to worship in an unkempt facility with outdated furniture that is uncomfortable, or worse, stained and torn? Maybe a church work day is all your congregation needs to spruce up the sanctuary. But if you are considering new furnishings, finding the right pieces can be as simple as finding the place where your needs for ministry intersect with your budget.
The best solution for your church depends primarily on the purpose of your ministry. No matter what size church building, what shape space or how your particular congregation uses its seats, baptistry and pulpit, there are solutions in many types and models now available for churches.
The special reports outline average costs and typical models; suggest items for consideration and factors that may play into your decisions. Hopefully these reports will get you thinking through your buying decision more thoroughly to help you choose furnishings or fixtures that best fit with your particular church.
Excellence is reflected not only in the price of church furnishings and fixtures, but in the intersection between form and function. Churches that thoroughly understand their function will better find and prioritize the function of their fixtures. The choice then becomes more than a matter of taste, style or utility, and is instead an outgrowth of an overall ministry strategy to reach lost people.
