Church-In-A-Day
Church in a Day (CIAD) assists congregations in building new church buildings, all in a single day. With CIAD, a church receives the equivalent of a $100,000 to $250,000 donation, and most importantly, goes from an empty lot to a service-ready sanctuary.
Benefits
-
CIAD takes a pastor from a storefront to a church building the congregation can be proud of in just 24 hours. The completed church is equipped with a sound system, baptistery, pews, and landscaping, and it seats 125-150 people, putting a congregation years ahead.
-
CIAD provides a physical location to stabilize the assembly. With the building in place, the pastor can then establish roots so that spiritual growth can happen.
-
CIAD makes a building program financially feasible. CIAD volunteer labor saves a congregation money, and Home Missions Division offers special loan programs to assist with certain aspects of the project.
-
A CIAD building is an incredible witness to the community. When passersby notice a new building where a vacant lot was the day before, it generates public attention. In several previous CIAD projects, local media outlets have publicized the CIAD project, helping congregations promote their church.
The Process
-
A local assembly must have land and the means for putting in a foundation.
-
CIAD works with the pastor to make sure his permit and legal requirements are in order.
-
CIAD comes in with volunteer craftsmen and laborers.
-
24 hours later, CIAD leaves the assembly with a completed church building ready to hold services.
