From the Author
After 30 years as a church architect and almost 20 as a church facilities consultant, Ray Bowman estimates that 90% of the churches that contact him thinking they need to build have a better alternative--one that requires less of the churches time, money, and energy. Since turning consultant in 1980, Bowman has pioneered a new way of thinking about, using, and modifying traditional church buildings so that a congregation that uses his approach can usually grow to three times or more the size for which the building was originally designed before needing a major building program. This book describes this revolutionary approach to church facility planning giving many examples of how churches are putting these concepts to practical use. I worked with Bowman for ten years as his writer (and coauthor of this book as well as its sequel WHEN NOT TO BORROW) before joining Ray as an associate in his church consulting work. I am now putting these concepts to use in my work as a full-time church consultant and can testify from my own experience that they really work. This book, published in 1992 and now in its sixth printing, is changing how North American churches think about, use, and pay for church buildings.
