One of Church Growth Trust’s services to evangelical churches and charities is assisting and advising with building projects. The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) lays out six key steps when considering any kind of construction work, including preparation and briefing, concept design, spatial co-ordination, technical design, manufacturing and construction, and handover.

Having received an unmistakeable call from God, Terry knew what to do next.
