Leasing Church Space: Childcare and Early Childhood Education Leasing

Date: Wednesday, August 12, 2026

Time: 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM ET

Cost: Free Webinar

Many congregations have classrooms and other spaces that sit unused during the week, while families in their communities face a growing need for quality childcare.

Leasing church space to a childcare or early childhood education provider can create a meaningful community partnership while helping support your congregation's long-term sustainability. But before signing a lease, it's important to understand the legal, financial, operational, and mission-related considerations involved.

Join Virginia Episcopal Real Estate Partners (VEREP) for a free one-hour webinar introducing our new Childcare & Early Childhood Education Leasing Guide. You'll hear from experienced leaders, learn practical best practices, and have the opportunity to ask questions during a live Q&A.

• How childcare partnerships can support your congregation's mission
