WASHINGTON, IN -- December 15, 2009 -- Aspen Group is pleased to announce Bethany Christian Church has signed a Feasibility contract with them.

Bethany Christian is located near Washington, IN, in a facility that was built in 1890.  They have purchased 60+ acres in Washington with the hopes of subdividing and building a church on about 20 acres.  The project is targeted for fall 2010 construction.

Feasibility is the second part of Aspen Group’s comprehensive Firm Foundations process, which guides churches through a building project from initial planning to project completion.

Through steps three and four of its Firm Foundations 7-Steps process, the design/build firm will define space needs and generate a detailed building program for the growing congregation.

Extensive surveys and brainstorming sessions will be conducted with the church leadership and sub committees to complete a financial analysis, site report, conceptual master site plan and conceptual floor plans.

Aspen Group is one of the nation's largest church-focused design/build firms with over a decade of experience serving churches and ministries throughout the Midwest from offices in Frankfort, Ill and Carmel, Ind. The corporation is based in Remington, Ind.

In 1999, Aspen Group founded Cornerstone Conferences, educational seminars that prepare church leaders for the challenges of construction. These conferences attracted other church construction-related companies and led to the founding of Cornerstone Knowledge Network (CKN). This network develops and disseminates meaningful knowledge that radically improves how church facilities impact ministry. Aspen Group is a principal member and director of CKN.
