Any organizations that will help our church rebuild a building?

Question

We live in a rural community, and our church is trying to redecorate/remodel an old building that used to be our church. We want to make it a place that will give back to our community. The problem is we have a very low income right now. Do any of you know of an organization or company that can help us achieve this project?

Its in Texas, by the way.

Answer 1

Contact the southern batist convention, I know they have teams of carpenters that build churches, there is also a youth group called world changers, they go every summer somewhere to work like that, check out southern batist convention website.

Answer 2

Why not the town itself? Raise a few bucks and place an ad in a State wide newspaper. Plan a country picnic and barbecue for next Spring. Get the word out and welcome tourists and charge about $15 each. You'll get noticed with a few notes to local papers and maybe a bi line in a national rag like Parade. You don't say what State, but it can be anyplace in the USA. People travel and someplace nice to go and bring the kids is a destination! Besides, the local highways have hotels and would love to get more business. Maybe they will pay for the ads with their names as sponsers! Not so hard to whip up a frenzy and make your small town a place to visit, donate and spend time and money! I'm not kidding you here. And I love rural living. My town used to be that way and I miss it.

Call around to places like Home Depot, etc, to see if they'll donate any materials. Generally the larger companies will only donate to organizations without religious affiliations, but you never know. Do some fund-raisers in your community or within your church as well.
