8:00 Registration and Continental Breakfast
8:15 Welcome
Dave Langer, Langer Construction
8:30 Getting Started
Dave Langer, Garth Ristau and Russ Zellmer, Langer Construction
Learn the important steps for initiating a building program including: determining
your needs; formulating effective building committees; criteria for choosing an
architect, contractor, lender, and fundraiser; building analysis and site acquisition;
guidelines for optimal site and long-range planning for your facilities; common
mistakes churches make and how to avoid them; and more.
9:15 Fundraising Best Practices
Jim Harrison, The James Company
Learn how to test the
readiness of the congregation for a capital appeal and identify a fundraising
option that generates excitement, enthusiasm and generosity. Gain insight into
how a congregation can raise as much as they can, borrow as much as they can,
build as much as they can, and pay off the mortgage as fast as they can. Hear
actual cases of how these appeals become much more than “fundraising campaigns,”
but exciting growth opportunities for congregations.
10:00 Exhibit Hall/Break
View other building and expansion projects of worship and educational facilities
in the Seminar Exhibit Hall. Additional resources, literature, and educational
handouts will be available to take back to your congregation.
10:20 Financing Options
Gene Crapser, Anchor Bank
Learn about how much you can borrow, what the bank looks for in underwriting the
financing request, typical financial structures during construction, as well as
permanent financing options and what a church organization can do in the planning
process prior to presenting a loan request to the bank.
11:00 Construction Contractual Relationships and
Case Study Examples
Tom Langer, Langer Construction
Learn the pros and cons of popular construction contractual relationships and
how to choose what’s best for your needs. Hear examples of local projects
and what made them successful, methods
of achieving best value in your project design and construction, and more.
11:30 Building Chair’s Perspective
John Rueb, The Church and School of St. Pascal Baylon
Learn from a building committee chairperson’s experience with an $8 million
construction project, from communicating to the congregation, making financial
