Is it acceptable or wise to be considering property and a building while still honing the “code”?

"Code"(who we are....our DNA) and "Calling" (where we believe God is calling us) should guide and influence everything we do. "Code" and "Calling" influence the type of ministries we pursue, staffing we develop, and of course facilities we should consider to support those activities. Buying property or designing buildings without clarity of both “Code” and “Calling” is analogous to beginning a vacation without a clear destination…..resulting in the risk of backtracking, wrong destinations, frustration, and hesitation.
