Church Campus Cleaning

A Complex Ministry Environment - We Get It

A church campus of any size is the equivalent of cleaning a stadium, school, hotel, office, retail, restaurant and sports complex all wrapped into one. Of course, a church is not a stadium, hotel or restaurant but in a real sense in becomes these spaces at various times. One large room can literally convert to a sanctuary for services, a banquet hall, a training center or VBS and occupancy levels will fluctuate similar to the hospitality industry. Important ministry, education, wedding and funeral events create occupancy rates that can be unpredictable and demand a true partnership with a church cleaning company that is communicative and flexible. A larger congregation or a faith-based daycare, elementary school or high school associated with a congregation requires a unique confluence of multi-industry cleaning strategies implemented into a single streaming solution and we will hit a homerun for your church. Facility Management Social Initiative is purpose built for complex ministry environments and we provide stadium level readiness with clinical level disinfection and care.

​

Congregation stakeholders can include pastoral leadership, board leadership, the facility management oversight team, denominational and accountability governance groups, congregants, visitors, attendees of annual large-scale events/outreach, education and school leadership, teachers, students, church support staff employees and volunteers. Managing the expectations of stakeholders while executing the thousands of activities to help families in a church thrive over the course of a year creates a unique situation. This dynamic, nuanced intersection of demands is not found in other kinds of commercial facilities.

 

We want to help free church leadership from facility stress so they can focus even more on mission. In the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence and family fragility many pastors and church leadership teams are choosing to focus more on operationalizing the great commission and commandment in their communities rather than worry about decontamination, reliable cleaning and having trustworthy cleaners in sensitive spaces. For larger congregations, a substantial investment of time is continually invested in interviewing, scheduling, managing janitorial staff and having to competently execute HR functions, especially when there is a separation from employment that occurs. The expense of performing background checks, providing supplies, personal protective equipment and mitigating the potential risk of workers compensation and unemployment claims can become a significant and sudden distraction and worry. 

 

The benefits of a church or faith-based school using FMSI as a partner include the implementation of best practices, predicting and stabilizing capital planning budgets and allowing the church leadership to focus on what is most important.  

​

Disinfection - We Get It

From entrance door handles and sanctuary seating to restroom fixtures and nursery surfaces, today's families expect visible, trustworthy sanitation throughout the facility. Our clinical-level decontamination protocols reduce the spread of illness by breaking the chain of infection, including prioritization of touch point disinfection and sanitization. To help create disinfection assurance with first time guests, congregants and ministry staff powerful trust signals are visible throughout the spaces, including tamper-evident disinfection seals on fresh rolls of toilet tissue, professionally placed "sanitized" signage in restrooms, drinking fountains, and confirmation markers at key entrances. These visual cues reinforce your church/school's commitment to protecting the health of everyone in attendance without ever saying a word. 

​

A Higher Standard for a More Sensitive Environment - We Get It

Churches serve one of the most diverse populations found in any facility -- infants in nurseries, children in classrooms, families in fellowship spaces, and senior adults throughout the building. Multi-generational environments require personnel who are comprehensively screened, trained and who understand safety, discretion and professionalism. A church is not just high-traffic -- it's high trust. A cleaning technician who works in the bowl of a stadium after a game will have a totally different skill set from a day porter who is policing church common areas and restrooms during a service.  We know this and staff and monitor accordingly. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More than a Vendor -- A Mission Partner

Our core principles align with Biblical principles: Be Caring, Be Rigorous, Be Transparent and Reduce Friction. Caring reflects the command to love others as you love yourself and to not simply treat others as a means to an end. Rigor is a disciplined commitment to thoroughness, consistency and precision. Transparency refers to candid, truthful communication free from hidden agendas. Reducing friction is about continuously finding smarter, more efficient ways to work and keeping our eyes open for better ways to work. So in a nutshell we preach from day one to our incredible people to be caring, rigorous, transparent and look for ways to improve.

 

​FMSI treats business as an idea that includes both profit and purpose. A very important purpose of Facility Management Social Initiative is to strive to reduce inequality and lower poverty by creating purposeful jobs using janitorial positions as a lifeboat to a better life.
