Frequently asked questions

What should I include in a church facility maintenance checklist?

Your checklist should include exterior inspections (roof, gutters, grounds), interior systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical), sanctuary-specific items (pews, altar, sound system), safety components (fire extinguishers, exit signs), and seasonal tasks. Customize based on your building’s age, size, and unique features like stained glass or historical elements.

Who should be responsible for church facility maintenance tasks?

This depends on the task. Routine items like cleaning and visual checks might go to in-house staff or volunteers. More technical work, such as HVAC servicing or electrical inspections, should be contracted out to licensed professionals. It’s helpful to assign categories of tasks by role—facilities manager, admin, vendor—rather than assigning individuals to each checklist item.

How detailed should our maintenance documentation be?

Document date, specific area inspected, condition assessment, actions taken, who performed the work, and any follow-up needed. Include photos of issues discovered and repairs completed. This level of detail creates accountability and provides valuable historical information for future maintenance planning.
