     ABEC can help your church develop a plan to build responsibly and obtain financing.
     Some of the important steps involved are:
     1. Seeking God's Leadership in Your Mission and Ministries.
     2. Discovering the Nature of Your Community.
     3. Determining Your Resources.
     4. Seeking Assistance from Design Professionals.
     5. Contracting with a Reputable, Bondable Contractor.
     Building wisely demands a thorough understanding of your church and the factors that affect your ministries. Based on the experiences of many other churches, we will help you obtain that understanding.
     An ABEC representative can meet with your congregation's building planning group. Guidelines for many planning areas will be given, including identifying congregational and community needs, determining ministry goals, selecting an architect and developing a budget.

   Grace Tabernacle Baptist Church had moved from place to place searching for roots, wings and ultimately a place to call home. ABEC worked closely with Grace over a five-year period. ABEC walked through each building and evaluated each site or existing structure as a potential church facility.

   Then, Grace began sharing the Lyndhurst Baptist Church. When Lyndhurst decided it could no longer support its ministries and decided to close, it offered to sell the building to its friend Grace.

   "God really was at work in everything." "We went out looking for a new home not realizing that we were already there."

   "We believe our church is making a profound difference in the lives of all of our people, especially our youth." ABEC is blessed to have been with Grace on the journey to a new home.
