Planning Your Project

MIF can be a valuable resource for you as you begin your congregation or ministry building project. Start here with some important considerations.

 
 

Make the most of your building for your mission.

With our vast experience and our focus on church and ministry construction projects, the Mission Investment Fund is uniquely positioned to be a resource for your congregation or ministry. Throughout the building process, our regional managers and specialized lending team are equipped to be a trusted resource to guide you from the planning process through financing your building project.

As you plan your project, keep in mind these important considerations to ensure that your facilities will most effectively support your mission:

Building/Renovation Projects

  • Help your leadership understand the steps of a building program, the building process, project timeline and project budget.  

  • Participate in the architectural process, and review conceptual/schematic design drawings, construction methods and building costs.

 Facilities upgrades 

  • Consider the first impressions visitors may have to your church or ministry facility, and enhance accessibility for persons of all ability levels. 

  • Conduct a building assessment to address interior and exterior issues and ways to incorporate “green” building concepts.

 Use of the building 

  • Evaluate the current use of space, make suggestions and provide options for improvement.

  • Vision/plan for the future. Consider possibilities for growth and options for expansion.
