Satisfying a Growing Congregation

Even in this difficult economy, many churches are feeling the demands of a growing congregation. This presents a serious challenge for Pastors and church leadership. On one hand a growing congregation means the church will need to expand and perhaps build new facilities in order to accommodate the needs of its members. On the other hand, contributions from membership may be down due to unemployment, pay cuts and the pressures of the economy.
                                                                                            
Now more than ever, growing churches need the help of General Steel Corporation to provide the building they need at a price that fits the budget. Timing is also an issue, as many churches have put off building and are now reaching a critical point where something must be done quickly. General Steel pre-engineered steel buildings not only save you as much as half the cost of a similar conventionally built shell structure, but the construction time can be cut by as much as half thanks to the quality pre-engineering that is manufactured in a controlled environment.
Many church leaders are concerned with value, appearance and functionality when they consider a new building. As they approach their congregation for additional contributions to the construction fund in these difficult economic times, they understand the importance of being good stewards over church finances. At the same time, this may be the first project of this scope and expense that these church leaders have experienced. These issues and more are why thousands of churches have contacted The General for assistance with their building needs.
General Steel offers a variety of pre-construction services that assist churches in identifying the related costs and the scope of their total project so they can make informed decisions, complete budgeting and secure approvals. We want you to get it right the first time. Packages include 3-D renderings of the project helping the congregation visualize the final outcome of their sacrifice and helping church leaders secure preliminary approvals.
General Steel has teamed up with Helm Lending Group to provide very attractive and creative lending packages to churches. Helm Lending Group is an expert in not only financing church construction projects but also in refinancing. They have worked with many churches to obtain financing for their capital needs through Helm’s bond program. Bond financing offers many benefits for qualified churches including:
