If You Don't Build It, They Will Come
(Filed under: Church Business)Isaiah Church has no building, but that's okay. Rev. Troy Benton plans to build his church by forming a congregation first, and worrying about a building later. It's a common practice for new church plants to forgo a building project and focus on people.
What if the local church was known for its people and not simply its location on the corner?

Bravo!
I am pastor of Convergence Church in Crestview Florida and we also have no permanent building. We are in a rented space and it is incredibly liberating. We had a gentleman from our church offer to give us land to erect a structure, but it did not fit in with our vision of community first. We feel God wants us to build a church...in lieu of building a building.
