this is a great reminder.
also being good stewards does not mean spending as little as possable, it means doing the best you can with what you have.

RON: Thank you so much for reminding everyone about NACFM. I am also a member and highly recommend the group. My concern with the church at large is that we have about 400,000 churches in America and less than 400 NACFM members. This is a challenge and an opportunity to lead the charge regarding stewardship of the facilities God has entrusted to us.

Thanks

Just to let you all know, there is a wonderful organization called National Association of Church Facilities Managers (NACFM). It is designed to help those in the field of facility management in churches to do their job better, to address issues such as being raised above, and a network and certification process.

BRYON: I have been doing some research and it appears that their influence and specialization is geared to Education facilities. Will let you know if I find anything different.

Tim,

Can you tell me anything about the certifications through the APPA that Kevin refers to on his website. How much clout do they hold outside of the educational industry?

Hey Tim,

That’s good stuff! I feel that the general rule can even be applied to any thing ministry related, even marketing…

I like this. Thanks for sharing!
