Step 3: Connect with a Partner
You don't have to go it alone.
If your congregation is feeling called to explore next steps, like feasibility study or talking to a development partner, VEREP and our trusted network are here to support you.
Step 2: Reflect & Discern
Is this the right path for us?
Before you call a developer, it’s worth asking: What is God calling us to do with what we have?
These resources help you explore your values, assets, and calling, with or without a development goal in mind.
Good Futures Accelerator Course
The Good Futures Accelerator, developed by RootedGood, is a dynamic, self-guided course that empowers congregations to align money and mission by creatively leveraging their church buildings and property to further their ministry and build financial resilience
Step 1: Understand What's Possible
You Are Not Alone.
Across the country, faith communities are turning underused buildings and land into housing, childcare centers, community hubs, and more. Some are just learning. Others are breaking ground.
Not Sure Where to Start? You're In the Right Place
Every week, churches everywhere are asking the same questions:
-
What can we do with this extra land or building?
-
Could affordable housing be part of our mission?
-
Where do we even begin?
At VEREP, we walk alongside congregations discerning how their property can serve their community, and bring new life to their ministry. You don’t need to have all the answers today.
Let us help you take that first step.
