With a double close there should always be a seperation of church & state so to speak.

We turned an old warehouse building into an assembly space for a modern church and changing the use triggered a massive amount of structural retrofits that we're about 10 - 15% of the total project budget.

My hobbies are woodworking, antique tool restoration, gardening, financial literacy education, volunteer work through my church congregation.  

School, Church, Work, Hobby, etc.Never forget your children want to experience it all..with youinstead of focusing on the hours it takes, look at all the ways you can bring your kids into the "family business" just my 2 cents :) good luck with whatever you do

But for years now, it has been a dream of mine and my husband's to give away 50% of our income to ministries at our church and other causes we care about, such as orphan care.

Because he is a friend from my church, I didn't even want to start down the road of asking more questions until I was completely ready to move forward.

Not necessarily a professional but someone (family, friends, church member, neighbor, .....) that has a proven track record with finances.

They have learned the art of deception and arrive straight from church looking their finest.

I always look at crime stats within a 1 mile radius of the property and then what is around it like shopping, schools, churches and parks.

Sounds to me like you need to find your local Salvation Army, mental health association, churches, Habitat For Humanity and other non-profits.
