One could successfully argue that most of the problems experienced by churches in building programs have their roots in poor planning and preparation. Poor preparation fosters a lack of unity and confidence, can ruin pastors, increase building costs, and in general, make an already difficult task much harder. Poor preparation will result in more confusion, wasted time, increased stress and effort, and at worst, cause a church split. A key part of proper planning is to first correctly understand your needs, abilities and limitations.
