Church & centre buildings
Jim Hammett has been involved in a wide variety of church build projects and is currently working with two Baptist churches, an independent church and two Anglican churches on major new build projects. He manages the Shenley Christian Fellowship £3.5M two phase project in Milton Keynes liasing with architects, a church building group, the local authority and a variety of local stakeholders. Phase 1 has been successfully completed.
Jim has also worked with the Leadership and Building group at Dumfries Baptist Church to advise them on planning their £4M+ new building. The new building is now operational. He has helped St Peter's Church in Hextable, Kent on funding for their building project. He is currently working with a range of churches including Tove Valley Baptist Fellowship in Towcester, Christ the King in Kettering, the Beacon Evangelical Church in Handsworth, Birmingham, Well Street United Church in Buckingham and St Elisabeth's Church in Carlisle. He has recently started working with Newport Pagnell Baptist Church and Stony Stratford Community Church on their building projects.
Jim has past experience on the Building Group at Stopsley Baptist Church, Luton where in the 1990's a £1.8M new build was successfully erected. He has extensive experience in developing residential Christian centres throughout the world.
Jim co-authors a website, with a Cambridge based Christian architect, which helps churches through the journey of building a major development. This is now available as a free resource at: www.churchbuildingprojects.co.uk/how to/. For a project timeline and ideas click the ideas button below. For the Baptist Union article about the website visit here. The Church of England has recently adopted the text for their own guidance.
Jim has also worked with over a hundred Christian residential centres throughout the world. He was involved in pioneering centres for Scripture Union in Armenia, Croatia, Belarus and Ukraine. He served on the international CCI committee and has been used many times as a trainer at international level.
In the past Jim was a land surveyor with Hunting Surveys and has experience of projects as varied as construction of a 12 mile stretch of the M40 motorway to a prince's palace in Saudi Arabia.

"...He has worked with great passion and energy and his wisdom and experience have been of great benefit to countless individuals, organisations and centres both in this country and overseas...."
Simon Barker, Scripture Union (England & Wales)
“Your mini seminar on how we should structure our internal and external fundraising for our church centre building project really helped focus people’s minds on lining up all the ducks in an organised way. The way you pointed us in the right direction is saving us thousands on VAT on professional fees.”
Alan Sloan, Business Planning Sub Group, Dumfries Baptist Church
“A reader recently sent me details of an excellent website www.churchbuildingprojects.co.uk/how-to, that contains a treasure trove of advice on church buildings. Amongst the articles there was a particularly brilliant piece on VAT and church buildings, which I thought would be useful to readers of Church Buildings and Heritage Review magazine…” Michael Winterbottom, Assistant Editor CB&HR.
