    Build a New Building or Increase Your Seat Turns?

    “Let’s say you have 400 people worshiping in three weekend experiences. If your worship space has 200 seats, each seat is used 2 times. You have 2 seat turns.

    (Our highest number of seat turns at a campus has been 4.25)

    The higher the number of turns, the better steward you’re being of the building. (In my opinion, many churches are building or relocating when they could be focusing on more seat turns.)”

      The yogurt is used to grow moss on terra cotta, cement and bricks. To age bricks, paint portions black and white, sand and knock off the edges with a hammer. You can also hit the bricks with a very heavy chain (works if the bricks are already installed) to knock out chunks.
