By Beryl Dalton


Every venture needs a group of people who will spearhead the planning and the implementation process. This group is not only composed of people who have the necessary skills to do the job assigned to them. They are those who can work will with a group and have the mindset to finish the task at hand at their best.

Same goes for constructing a church. The structure is more than just for formality. It is symbolic and should therefore be created with the importance of its symbolism in mind. This is why church building committees exist. They are the ones who facilitate the creation of a place of worship needed for a specific community.

The front runners of this group are those who have the technical skills for construction and those who are head of their community like the pastors and ministers. Together, then ensures the good flow of the creation. Here are some of the things that they are responsible for.

Supervision of the process. Any project will not be successful if there is no one who takes charge . The committee has the chairman as the head and is the one who oversees the developments of the construction. He has the power to call meetings and gather the rest of the group to plan or to agree on certain modification if any.

Creates project design. After the planning, they will then proceed to creating a design. In here the architects and all the people involved in the manual building of the establishment will gather. Specifics such as the size of the infrastructure, the materials that will be used and the money needed for it will be discussed.

Finance and budgeting. For a project to move forward, there has to be money. It is a necessary resource needed to purchase the materials that will be used for the making of the establishment. Absence of which can mean a big problem or a delayed expected output. People working for the finance department creates budget plan to see areas that has to have more funding. They are also the one in charge of analyzing certain areas of the project that needs more funding and those that can be dealt with less.

Publicizes the project to the members and give them updates. Also, they are the ones responsible for informing the community about the progress of the construction. They publicize the ongoing projects in hopes to attract potential donors who are interested to help.

Takes charge of the fund raising. Speaking of donors, they are also responsible for fund raising. They organize activities that gather the whole community. The money that will be gathered from the activities that they have will directly go to the church and will be spent for the construction. Of course, proper liquidation will be observed.

Just because you are not a member of this head group does not mean that you cannot participate. The church needs proactive members who have the heart to help. If you think you can contribute something, go ahead and let them know. They may need people today for an event as we speak. Be a volunteer.
