Activating Church Buildings
with Capin Crouse
Here are two unfortunate truths about today’s churches:
-
Most church organizations buy buildings before they know how they’ll be able to pay for them
-
Many of these church buildings sit empty and unused Monday through Friday
In this interview, Nathan Artt sits with our friends David J. Gunter, Stan Reiff, and Ted R. Batson, Jr., from CapinCrouse, all experts in this space, to discuss these topics and the big question:
How do we activate our church buildings to create a greater community impact while being financially sustainable?
It’s a nuanced topic, but with strategic planning, we believe there is a middle ground between mission and monetization – and we want to help you find it.

About Ministry Solutions
At Ministry Solutions, we are a team of seasoned experts who think differently about church real estate. We believe that buildings should exist to fund ministry, not the other way around. Most churches start the conversation of growth with the question, “how can our church fund a building?”
We believe in beginning the conversation with a different question, “how can we create a financial and facility strategy where we have buildings funding ministry?” We believe that with the right strategy, churches all across America can take advantage of opportunities to say yes to growth. For us, it’s about creating more margin to fund more ministry for the local, growing church.
