Churches Renovate Their Building, On Average, Every 30 Years? Really?!

Uh… Wow. Every 30 years? Yes, those are the stats, according to a church renovation expert I heard at a recent conference. By the time his company is called in to help a church renovate their sanctuary, lobby, exterior or anything significant, it’s been three full decades since any part of their facility has been updated in any meaningful way. That’s. Too. Long. I’m aware of how costly it is to update church facilities – especially in a smaller church that may not even be paying the pastor. But there’s an alternative to waiting thirty years to do anything, then breaking the bank to overhaul everything at once.
