Kingdom Halls -Why and How are they built?

As the name Kingdom Hall implies, the central Bible teaching discussed there focuses on God's Kingdom -the theme of Jesus ministry.-Luke 8:1.

They are centers of true worship in the community.
From that location, the preaching of the good news of Kingdom is carried out. (Matthew 24:14) Kingdom Halls vary in size and design, but all are modest structures, many accommodating more than one congregation. In recent years, we have built tens of thousands of new Kingdom Halls (an average of five each day) in order to keep up with the increase in our congregations. How is this possible?- Matthew 19:26.

They are built with donations made to a central fund: In every kingdom Hall, there is another contribution box for kingdom hall construction worldwide. These donations are sent to the branch office so that money can be made available interest-free to congregations needing to build or remodel a Kingdom Hall.

They are built by unpaid volunteers from all walks of life: In many lands, kingdom hall construction groups have been organized. Team of construction servants and volunteers move from one congregation to the next within a country, even more in remote areas to take the lead on each project and to train local Witnesses. In other lands, regional building committees have been appointed to supervise the building and renovating of Kingdom Halls within an assigned region. Elders who are experienced in construction guide the congregations through all stages of a project and skilled tradesmen volunteer their labour. At every building site, members of the local congregation make up the bulk of the volunteer labour force. Jehovah's spirit and the whole-souled efforts to his people are making all of this possible. -Psalm 127:1; Colossians 3:23.
