"The day has passed when we can build big church buildings and expect to be the only ones who use them." - Dan Cook, Founder of Building God's Way
Fayetteville, NC (PRWEB) May 01, 2014
Building God's Way (BGW), a nationwide church architect and builder network that provides a broad range of solutions to Christian ministries, will continue its “Momentum Summit” spring seminar series on May 8th in Fayetteville, NC. The free seminar luncheon will take place at Manna Church / Cliffdale Campus and will feature presentations by authors, pastors and leading experts in the areas of church health, growth, facilities and funding.
Churches and other non-profits are facing ever-increasing financial challenges to sustaining their ministries. New economic realities and generational changes in charitable giving are threatening their very existence. The Momentum Summit will introduce new paradigms to transform the way ministry leaders think about how their facilities are used, how they reach the next generation and how they operate in a new economy.
Featured speakers for the event will include:
Don Mahoney - An award-winning church architect with one of the most extensive backgrounds in church, school and performing arts design in America, Don has led the design of prominent ministry facilities all across the U.S. throughout a 28-year career. He has become a recognized leader in the field of faith-based architecture and has been honored with a number of national design awards, including multiple WFX Solomon Awards for Best Church Architect, Best Church Design, Best Special Project and Best Digital Church. Don is also a recipient of the LCEF Arts & Architecture Award for Best Liturgical Design. Don will share some unique and innovative design strategies to help ministries address the generational, cultural and economic challenges they are facing today.
Terry Bates - The Senior Pastor of OKC Faith Church in Oklahoma City and author of the book "Positioning Your Church", Terry has led OKC Faith and two other churches to incredible turnaround growth during his 30 years of ministry. He has coached and trained hundreds of church leaders around the world on the principles of his book and served as a trainer for Dr. John Maxwell’s "Million Leader Mandate," in which he was involved in training over 250,000 church leaders. Terry is also an expert capital campaign consultant and has worked with churches nationwide to successfully raise funds utilizing a revolutionary approach called “Hearing from God.”

Wayne Tate - The Site Pastor at the Cliffdale Campus of Manna Church, a church that has grown from 350 members in 1985 to 7,500 members in 2012. Coupling sound biblical teaching with relevant, practical application and cutting-edge outreach, Manna Church has created a culture that is “others” focused – a culture that lifts the advancement of the Kingdom of God far above the concept of the stereotypical “me” church.

As the exclusive Building God's Way church builder for the state of North Carolina, CSI has a unique understanding of faith-based projects and a passion for helping congregations be the best stewards of God's resources.
