Leasing Guide

Leasing Church Property for Mission and Sustainability

​

Many congregations are discovering that opening their buildings to the community is more than a practical decision. It is an opportunity for ministry.

​

When a church chooses to share its space with organizations that need a home, it becomes a visible expression of compassion, connection, and hope in its neighborhood.

​

At Virginia Episcopal Real Estate Partners, we have seen a growing need for clear, actionable guidance on how to lease church space in ways that support both mission and long-term financial sustainability.

​

This leasing guide was created to help congregations navigate that process with confidence.

​

To make these resources easy to use, we’ve provided them in three formats:

​

• Top 10 Considerations for quick insight

• Condensed Guide for a practical overview

• Full Leasing Guide with templates, tools, and detailed guidance can be requested at the form below.

​

Whether you are just beginning to explore leasing or ready to take the next step, we hope these resources equip you to make thoughtful, mission-aligned decisions for your property.
