    Executing a church capital campaign is part science and part art. Some of the techniques that worked well in times past are not as effective today. There have been, and will continue to be, refinements and adaptation in the process of capital fundraising. Part of the art of the campaign is adapting those processes (the science) to a churchs culture, circumstances, needs, and time line.

    Many churches in the past year have postponed building programs due to economic uncertainty. Even though building may be 1, 2 or even 3 years away, the wise church will be preparing now for a future building program.

    List of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter … - November 19, 2016 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are buildings dedicated to be a House of the Lord, and they are considered by church members to be the most sacred structures on earth. Upon completion, temples are usually open to the public for a short period of time (an "Open House"). During the Open House, the church conducts tours of the temple with missionaries and members from the local area serving as tour guides, and all rooms of the temple are open to the public. The temple is then dedicated as a "House of the Lord," after which only members in good standing are permitted entrance; temples are not churches but are places of worship. There are 154 operating temples (which includes 3 previously dedicated, but closed for renovation), 12 under construction, and 11 announced (not yet under construction).

    In 1832, shortly after the formation of the church, Joseph Smith said that the Lord desired the saints build a temple;[1] and they completed the Kirtland Temple in 1836. Initially, the church constructed temples in areas where there were large concentrations of members: Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Hawaii (all in the USA), and Alberta (Canada). In the mid 20th century, because of the importance of temples in the theology, the church tried to balance density with the travel requirements attending the temple imposed upon members. Thus, temples were built in Europe (namely, Switzerland dedicated in 1955 and England dedicated in 1958); the Pacific Islands (namely, New Zealand dedicated in 1958); and Washington, D.C.(dedicated in 1974, the first American temple East of Utah since Nauvoo in 1846). All were dedicated at a time when membership in the region alone might not have justified the effort.

    In the 1980s, Spencer W. Kimball directed the church to build smaller temples with similar designs[2] allowing temples to be built where there were fewer members. As a result, the first temples in South America (Brazil dedicated in 1978); Asia (Japan dedicated in 1980); and Central America (Mexico City dedicated in 1983) were built and the number of temples doubled from 15 to 36.

    Church president Gordon B. Hinckley (19102008) also accelerated the construction of temples through the use of an even smaller standardized base design.[3] In 1998, when there were 51 temples, Hinckley set a goal to have 100 temples in place before the end of 2000.[4] Between the brief building period from 1998 to 2001, 38 of these standardized temples were constructed and dedicated, meeting Hinckley's goal by having 102 dedicated temples before 2000 closed. During Hinckley's service as president, the number of temples more than doubled from 47 to 124.[5]

    Note: Numbering of temples announced or under construction is tentative (which is indicated by placing the numbers in italics) and based upon the groundbreaking date, or the date of announcement if no groundbreaking has taken place. Permanent numbering may change depending upon the date of dedication.

    The following is a list of temples that had been announced and in some stage of development, but whose construction is no longer being pursued.

    American Dream Meadowlands – Wikipedia - October 28, 2016 by Mr HomeBuilder

    American Dream Meadowlands Location Meadowlands Sports Complex, East Rutherford, New Jersey Opening date Unknown Owner Triple Five Group Architect The Rockwell Group No. of stores and services 500+[1] No. of anchor tenants 6 Total retail floor area 4,800,000sqft (450,000m2) No. of floors 5 Parking 30,000+ spaces (11,450 walkup, 20,000 overflow, 3 parking garages) Website http://www.americandream.com

    American Dream Meadowlands (ADM) is a stalled retail and entertainment complex under construction in the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It was first proposed in 2003 by the Mills Corporation as the Meadowlands Xanadu. After the bankruptcy of that company in 2007, the project was taken over by Colony Capital. In May 2009, construction stalled due to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. The Triple Five Group announced intent to take over the mall in May 2011, and on July 31, 2013, officially gained control of the mall and the surounding site.[2]

    After a series of hand-offs, financing issues, construction delays, and legal challenges, the mall is currently anticipated to open in mid-2018.[3] The mall is expected to have about 450 stores and a wide variety of entertainment, including multiple indoor theme parks.

    The project started in July 2002 with a request for proposal issued by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority for a project to be built adjacent to the (then-named) Continental Airlines Arena.[4] In February 2003, the authority's board chose a joint venture between the former Mills Corporation and the Mack-Cali realty corporation, in partnership with the Sports Complex's owner, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority. The project was selected over alternatives proposed by Westfield and Hartz Mountain Industries.[4]

    The project was billed by Mills chairman and executive officer Laurence E. Siegel as "...a new standard for bringing lifestyle, recreation, sports and family entertainment offerings together in one location."[5] Ground was broken on the complex on September 29, 2004,[6] and, at the time, was expected to open two years later.[7]

    In November 2006, Colony Capital took control of the project from Mills Corp and pushed the projected opening to 2008.[4]

    In May 2009, construction on Xanadu, which was nearly 80% complete[8] (and whose common areas were about 88% complete), came to a halt after a subsidiary of bankrupt Lehman Brothers missed payments, causing other lenders to withdraw from the project, and lost $500million worth of construction funding. While developers stated the mall was 70% leased,[9] it is unknown how many retailers stayed leased while the mall was delayed. In August 2009, Cabela's, a major anchor, announced that it did not plan to open its Meadowlands location until late 2010.[10] Around the same time, the complex's website was relaunched with the new Xanadu Meadowlands name.

    In 2010, Stephen Ross, owner of The Related Companies in Manhattan, stated that he could finish the project by the end of 2010, possibly with a new name and look.[11] In May 2010, the NJSEA handed the project over to the Related Companies, and the "Xanadu" name had been dropped, changing the name to "The Meadowlands".[12]

    On August 10, 2010, Colony Capital surrendered control of the development of the mall to five lenders. A special governor's commission on the state's gaming and entertainment industry is filed recommendations to Governor of New Jersey. Four parties were noted to be interested in redeveloping the project.[13]The Wall Street Journal on December 24, 2010, reported that Triple Five Group signed a letter of intent to invest in and finish the stalled mall.[14] Triple Five proposed that the mall be expanded to include indoor amusement and water parks. Developers cut a deal with Deutsche Bank to provide an approximately $700 million loan to finish the project.[8]

    On February 1, 2011, after a record-breaking month of snow for the area,[15] a 50 to 60-foot long section of the eastern wall had buckled and a horizontal crease was apparent on the complex's indoor ski slope. Two days later, on February 3, after workers were attempting to melt snow from the ski slope's roof, ice build-up caused the eastern wall to fail and suffer a partial collapse along an approximately 150-foot (50m) length of roof.[16] Michael Beckerman, a spokesman for the projects lending group stated, "the Lender Group is aware of the damage to the roof caused by excessive snow and ice, but does not feel the damage affects the integrity of the structure. As such, the group has filed an insurance claim, and once the weather turns warmer, it will assess the damages and fix whatever is necessary."[17]

    On April 29, 2011, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority completed a deal with Triple Five Group, which currently owns two of North America's largest mallsWest Edmonton Mall and Mall of America. Triple Five assumed ownership of the Meadowlands Mall and renamed it to "American Dream Meadowlands", with an opening date of Autumn 2013, months before Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium, just across the highway. The deal was officially announced on May 3, 2011, and it was announced Triple Five had secured land across the highway from the mall to construct a domed theme park based on DreamWorks Animation and water park, opening in early 2014.[18][19]

    The mall was delayed further by financing, permitting, and a lawsuit filed by the New York Giants and New York Jets over traffic concerns.[20] Triple Five officially took ownership of the mall on July 31, 2013, with construction set to start in late August of that year, despite the Giants and Jets' lawsuit.[2] Construction officially began in November and the developer estimated it would take approximately 24 months to complete the project.[21]

    On March 13, 2014 the Triple Five Group announced a settlement was reached with the New York Giants and New York Jets allowing the long-delayed project to move forward. Construction has been ongoing since November 2013 and was expected to pick up in early 2014. Although no timetable for completion was announced, the developer originally said it would take about 24 months to complete the project once construction began.[21] That April, Triple Five released a revised design for the mall's exterior and confirmed a tentative opening date in late 2016.[22]

    In December 2014, the project was scheduled to partially open by Fall of 2016.[23]

    In June 2015, the New Jersey Local Finance Board approved a tax-sharing plan between East Rutherford and Triple Five. In August 2015, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority reauthorized a $390 million potential tax break for the project. These steps were intended to set the stage for a sale of up to $1 billion in government bonds to raise money to complete the project in time for its new projected completion in the second half of 2017.[4]

    In April 2016, a planned bond issue fell through.[24] In July 2016, construction appeared to have stopped, the developers were trying to obtain $1 billion in additional financing, and the projected completion date had slipped again, to 2018.[25] In August 2016, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority announced an $800 million bond issue intended to finance further construction of the mall.[26]

    In September 2016, the Triple Five Group announced that a Nickelodeon Universe amusement park would fill the indoor amusement park space.[27]

    The exterior of the project, which is visible from the New Jersey Turnpike and New Jersey Route 3, is a combination of aluminum composite and aluminum siding, of various colors including turquoise, red, yellow, and green. The north end of the building consists of the indoor ski slope. Most politicians and the public have equally criticized the building's appearance calling it "The ugliest building in New Jersey".[28][29] Former Acting New Jersey Governor Richard Codey was quoted in the New York Times as calling the structure "yucky-looking".[30] Although the facility has been renamed, Governor Chris Christie is on record as saying it's an offense to the eyes as you drive up the turnpike" and that Its by far the ugliest damn building in New Jersey, and maybe America.[31] The exterior will be repainted in a different color scheme as part of Triple Five's ownership.[32]

    Publicity materials for the project claim that the complex, if and when opened, will contain the following features.

    Announced in February 2008, the Pepsi Globe, a 287ft (87m) tall giant Ferris wheel with 26 passenger capsules, was to be constructed facing the NJ Turnpike and originally expected to open in 2009.[33][34]

    From traffic concerns to environmental concerns, there are many who have opposed the idea of building a permanent shopping center within the Meadowlands Sports Complex. The project is being built on state-owned land, as the NJSEA is a state agency, and $81.3 million was spent on transportation improvements such as new off and on ramps and a train station at the Sports Complex.[30] Some have also called the mall a "colossal real estate nightmare"[42] and "perhaps the worst retail failure ever".[43]

    The New York Giants had proposed that the mall be closed on days when the NFL team had home games, as part of the deal to build a New Meadowlands Stadium to replace Giants Stadium. The Giants then made an agreement with then-Xanadu to allow the complex to be open on game days, with the option to sue if traffic became a concern, an agreement which remains in effect now that the New Meadowlands Stadium will be co-owned with the New York Jets.[citation needed] The teams contend that while the mall will be closed on Sundays due to Bergen County's Blue Law, the amusement park will not, thus creating traffic jams on game days. Between 20,000 and 25,000 park at the complex on game days. Traffic studies conducted by the team estimate that 7,700 will be added by the project, while developers state that it would add only 63 more cars, as local residents would be wise enough to avoid the grounds at that time and most tourists would take the rail link to the MetLife Stadium site rather than drive.[44]

    The complex was originally developed by the Mills Corporation in partnership with Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, with financing by Kan Am. In May 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced it was formally investigating the Mills Corporation after the company announced that it was restating four years of earnings due to executive misconduct and accounting errors. Later in the year, an analyst at Bank of America Securities pushed Mills Corporation to drop the project, citing the signs of cost overruns.[45]

    The Federal Aviation Administration expressed concerns about the height of the Ferris wheel (~330ft) affecting local air traffic to and from Teterboro Airport.[46]

    In February 2015, US Federal prosecutors accused Joe Ferriero, former chairman of the Bergen County Democratic Organization and New Jersey political power broker, of bribery, fraud, and racketeering charges.[47] The charges included an allegation that Mills Corporation paid Ferriero $1.7 million over the course of several years as a bribe or extortion to maintain Ferriero's political support for their development bid on the Xanadu project against rivals Hartz Mountain Industries. James Dausch, a former Mills Corporation employee testified that the $1.7 million was paid for Ferriero's consulting, not as a bribe. Dausch's testimony detailed much of the development bid process, including paid lobbyists positioning Mills with Governor Jim McGreevey, then Governor Richard Codey, as well as with Senator Robert Menendez.[48] In April 2015, Ferriero was found guilty on five counts, but not on the Mills Corporation racketeering charges.[49]

    Church (building) – Wikipedia - October 28, 2016 by Mr HomeBuilder

    A church building, often simply called a church, is a building used for Christian religious activities, particularly worship services. The term in its architectural sense is most often used by Christians to refer to their religious buildings, but it is sometimes used (by analogy) for buildings of other religions.[1] In traditional Christian architecture, the church is often arranged in the shape of a Christian cross. When viewed from plan view the longest part of a cross is represented by the aisle and the junction of the cross is located at the altar area.

    Towers or domes are often added with the intention of directing the eye of the viewer towards the heavens and inspiring church visitors. Modern church buildings have a variety of architectural styles and layouts; many buildings that were designed for other purposes have now been converted for church use; and, similarly, many original church buildings have been put to other uses.

    The earliest identified Christian church was a house church founded between 233 and 256. During the 11th through 14th centuries, a wave of building of cathedrals and smaller parish churches occurred across Western Europe. A cathedral is a church, usually Roman Catholic, Anglican, Oriental Orthodox or Eastern Orthodox, housing the seat of a bishop.

    In Greek, the adjective kyriak-s/-/-n means "belonging, or pertaining, to a Kyrios" ("Lord"), and the usage was adopted by early Christians of the Eastern Mediterranean with regard to anything pertaining to the Lord Jesus Christ: hence "Kyriaks okos" ("house of the Lord", church), "Kyriak" ("[the day] of the Lord", i.e. Sunday), or "Kyriak proseukh" (the "Lord's Prayer").[2]

    In standard Greek usage, the older word "ecclesia" (, ekklesa, literally "assembly", "congregation", or the place where such a gathering occurs) was retained to signify both a specific edifice of Christian worship (a "church"), and the overall community of the faithful (the "Church"). This usage was also retained in Latin and the languages derived from Latin (e.g. French glise, Italian chiesa, Spanish iglesia, Portuguese igreja, etc.), as well as in the Celtic languages (Welsh eglwys, Irish eaglais, Breton iliz, etc.) and in Turkish (kilise).[2]

    In the Germanic and some Slavic languages, the word kyriak-s/-/-n was adopted instead and derivatives formed thereof. In Old English the sequence of derivation started as "cirice" (Ki-ri-keh), then "churche" (kerke), and eventually "church" in its current pronunciation. German Kirche, Scottish kirk, Russian (tserkov), etc., are all similarly derived.[3]

    According to the New Testament, the earliest Christians did not build church buildings. Instead, they gathered in homes (Acts 17:5, 20:20, 1 Cor 16:19) or in Jewish worship places like the Second Temple or synagogues (Acts 2:46, 19:8). The earliest archeologically identified Christian church is a house church, the Dura-Europos church, founded between 233 and 256.[4]

    During the 11th through 14th centuries, a wave of building of cathedrals and smaller parish churches occurred across Western Europe. In addition to being a place of worship, the cathedral or parish church was used by the community in other ways. It could serve as a meeting place for guilds or a hall for banquets. Mystery plays were sometimes performed in cathedrals, and cathedrals might also be used for fairs. The church could be used as a place to thresh and store grain.[5]

    A common architecture for churches is the shape of a cross (a long central rectangle, with side rectangles, and a rectangle in front for the altar space or sanctuary). These churches also often have a dome or other large vaulted space in the interior to represent or draw attention to the heavens. Other common shapes for churches include a circle, to represent eternity, or an octagon or similar star shape, to represent the church's bringing light to the world. Another common feature is the spire, a tall tower on the "west" end of the church or over the crossing.

    The Latin word basilica (derived from Greek, Basilik Sto, Royal Stoa) was originally used to describe a Roman public building (as in Greece, mainly a tribunal), usually located in the forum of a Roman town.[6][7]

    After the Roman Empire became officially Christian, the term came by extension to refer to a large and important church that has been given special ceremonial rights by the Pope. Thus the word retains two senses today, one architectural and the other ecclesiastical.

    A cathedral is a church, usually Roman Catholic, Anglican, Oriental Orthodox or Eastern Orthodox, housing the seat of a bishop. The word cathedral takes its name from cathedra, or Bishop's Throne (In Latin: ecclesia cathedralis). The term is sometimes (improperly) used to refer to any church of great size.

    A church that has the function of cathedral is not necessarily a large building. It might be as small as Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford, England, Sacred Heart Cathedral in Raleigh, United States, or Chur Cathedral in Switzerland. However, frequently, the cathedral along with some of the abbey churches, was the largest building in any region.

    Old and disused church buildings can be seen as an interesting proposition for developers as the architecture and location often provide for attractive homes[8][9] or city centre entertainment venues[10] On the other hand, many newer Churches have decided to host meetings in public buildings such as schools,[11] universities,[12] cinemas[13] or theatres.[14]

    There is another trend to convert old buildings for worship rather than face the construction costs and planning difficulties of a new build. Unusual venues in the UK include an old Tram power station,[15] a former bus garage,[16] an old cinema and bingo hall,[17] a former Territorial Army Drill Hall,[18] a former synagogue[19] and a windmill.

    There has been an increase in partnerships between church management and private real estate companies to redevelop church properties into mixed uses. While it has garnered criticism from some, the partnership offers congregations the opportunity to increase revenue while preserving the property.[20]

    Church Construction Ministry – NC Conference - October 1, 2016 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The North Carolina Annual Conference is in a unique position when it comes to helping your congregation when in need for construction/renovation project assistance. Through the NC Conference Board of Missions Incorporated, our Conference is itself, a licensed General Contractor within the State of North Carolina.

    No project is too large or too small for us to be in consultation with you, and through our construction consultant, we can assist you with total new construction, new additions, renovations and historic preservation.

    What makes us unique is that we attempt, where possible, to blend the use of professional sub-contractors with volunteers arranging with you to tap into the volunteer pool within your own congregation, or from other church communities beyond. We view this as an opportunity for mission outreach and connectional growth.

    Whether you are in a position to raise all of the funds you need, or need to take advantage of loan opportunities through the Conference or traditional lender, our general policy is to offer a compensation program that could significant lower the congregations construction costs.

    A vision of possibility

    The Board of Missions Incorporated, also offers a very competitive revolving-loan ministry. Loan rates are competitive and fixed. The only additional cost borne by the congregation is the loan filing cost with your local county. Typically these fees are less than $50. Also, there are no penalties for early loan pay-off. All proceeds from interest charged are rolled back into the construction ministry.

    In addition to offering construction oversight, we do strive to be a good host in partnership with the congregation doing the building and in providing a hospitable environment for out-of Conference individual and group volunteers.

    Church Construction – Building your New Church - October 1, 2016 by Mr HomeBuilder

    A recent study by the Rainer Group of over 300 recently completed church building programs highlighted in their report the benefit of completing a feasibility study prior to construction.

    Their study validates and reinforces the need for careful pre-construction planning that we repeat over and over again in our ebook. Planning that most churches just are just not equipped to complete in a timely, objective and accurate manner.

    It's Not the Church's Fault...

    This is just not something that most churches have the necessary experience to do themselves. Ultimately a feasibility study does not have to cost the church anything.

    It Needs to be Done...

    But if you were honest with yourself, you would probably agree that as a whole, your church leadership team does not have the practical experience or training to do an effective and objective analysis.

    There's Too Much at Risk...

    Hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars are on the line, not to mention the effectiveness and the well-being of your ministry. Learn more about a feasibility study for your church and how it will save you time, money, stress and effort.
