Qualities Of Members In A Church Building Committee

By Patty Goff


Any ministry that wants to expand must make plans to erect structures. The expansion is facilitated when a church building committee is commissioned for the purpose. The members of this group must possess certain qualities that can help them work together and efficiently. Some notable qualities every member should have include honesty, integrity, humility, persuasiveness, holiness and understanding.

It is impossible to allow a team handle thousands of dollars if there is anyone of them in their midst who cannot be trusted. If they are honest, you can willingly send them out to represent you before highly placed citizens for financial support without thinking they may hide some of the money. The team must not find it difficult to say the truth at all times.

The group must collectively and individually possess another quality known as integrity. This is important because the good name of the congregation must not fade in their quest to get money. They must set good examples to others who may want to source funds in the future for any laudable exercise.

Love is a quality that encompasses all other qualities. Love will make a church member understand another member's plight and know how to approach him or her. Love for God will also propel the member to seek extra ways of getting the money even when others are not around.

Every member of the group should be able to convince the audience to make financial contributions. Getting money from people can be tough at certain periods in the year and things are really hard these days. The people should be willing to do what they are asked to do after their speech.

Understanding is a gift each person in the group should have. Even if all but one person does not make a contribution all year, they should be patient to understand the reason, especially when it is genuine. This will help such a person remain firm in the faith and prevent gossiping and disunity. A group with understanding of the times and seasons also knows when to plan special programs that can be used to fetch huge amounts.

Sacrifice is something that cannot be overemphasized. From the day you are called to join a group like this in a church, you should know at once that at certain times, you will be required to deep your hands into your pocket. Such situations can come after a program when the money realized is not up to the expected amount. Members in this group are meant to believe that God waters those that water His vineyard.

It is not bad to include some professionals in the team. People from different walks of lives such as civil engineers, architects, electrical engineers, lawyers, surveyors and so on should be welcome. Each of them plays specific roles to facilitate the work. For instance, while the architect develops the building plan, the lawyer ensures that everything that is done is within the government's directives.
