Taking on a church building is a process that usually begins with getting in touch or arranging a viewing. We will guide you through each step so you understand what is involved and can decide how you would like to proceed.
How it works
What happens if you are interested in a building?
The process at a glance
01. Get in touch
If a building looks of interest, or you would like to explore your situation, the first step is to get in touch. We can answer initial questions and help you understand whether it is worth exploring further.
02. Tell us about your church and your plans
We will take time to understand your church, your situation and how you would hope to use the building. This is a conversation rather than a formal process at this stage.
03. Arrange a viewing
If appropriate, you can arrange a visit to view the building. This gives you the opportunity to see the space, ask questions and begin to consider whether it could work for your church.
04. Provide further information
If you would like to continue, we will ask for information about your church. This will include your vision, leadership, finances and plans for using the building.
05. Agree the next steps
We will review this information alongside any other interested churches and consider which option is the most suitable for the building. We will then work with you to agree the next steps. If the building is right for your church, this may lead to formalising a tenancy. If not, we will let you know.
