 A letter From the President:

On behalf of the MACFM (Minnesota Association of Church Facility Managers) members I welcome you to our website.  The association was established in 2003 with a goal of creating an organization where facility managers of all Christ Centered faiths could come for fellowship, networking and professional development through ongoing meetings, shared work experiences and training opportunities.

We appreciate your interest in MACFM, we meet on a monthly basis with like peers, who are willing to share experiences and knowledge and are open to learning from one another. One of the great practices we have is to hold our meetings at a different Church site each month and the opportunity to tour the host church, getting first hand exposure to the different architectural styles, sizes and ages of the church facilities and its equipment, able to listen and see first-hand the challenges we all share in serving our Church Community.   

All our activities, as great as they are, revolve around Christian Fellowship and the opportunity we have to uplift and encourage one another in our service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I may be reached by calling 952-405-7250or writing to kreineccius@paxchristi.com.

Sincerely in Jesus Christ,

Ken Reineccius
