Identifying Facility Limitations
Church buildings may hinder growth if they do not adequately meet the needs of the community. Limitations in physical spaces can create obstacles to expanding ministry efforts, potentially preventing churches from reaching more people. By recognizing these issues, church leaders can begin to prioritize necessary improvements or changes in facility design to better serve their congregations. Addressing these limitations transforms the church building from a ministry constraint into a beneficial resource for outreach and engagement.
