Unfortunately, without the aid of an experienced church broker, many churches pur - chase buildings that aren’t zoned to be churches or that they ultimately cannot afford because they did not account for how much it would cost to repurpose or renovate. If you do find an existing church building in a good location that fits within your budget, make sure it suits your needs and is in good physical condition, so renovations required are more cosmetic than infrastructural. Unlike a traditional real estate agent who must string together the professionals nec - essary to complete the purchase of a property, an experienced church broker offers a full turn - key solution. It pays to find the right partners who can connect you with church lenders and capital campaign leaders, or - ganize documents and reports, manage the zoning process, oversee the inspection of the facility and the construction process, seek congregational approval, negotiate the deal, and hand you the key.

Make sure your financial and organizational records are in order. You should be able to produce financial state - ments for the past three to five years, information about any existing debt obligations and current assets, as well as tithes and offerings. Addition - ally, review your articles of incorporation or bylaws, and determine who is going to be the signatory for the execution of the documents. CREATE A FINANCIAL PLAN Next, you need to create a financial plan for how the con - gregation will lease or purchase the property. If you choose to lease, make sure you under - stand the real market value of the property so you know if you can handle lease payments. If you choose to purchase, you will probably use a combination of funding sources, such as a capital campaign, donations and bank loans. A good rule of thumb: Churches can borrow three times their annual giving. LOCATETHEAPPROPRIATE CHURCH PROPERTY There are many spiritual, emotional, and congregational considerations when selecting a site, and it’s helpful to remem - ber that the “perfect property” doesn’t exist. Church leaders need to be flexible. For ex - ample, many churches are leas - ing or buying nontraditional church buildings because there is a low inventory of existing churches for sale. If you have identified a potential building, investigate local regulations and conditions, including ease - ments, parking and zoning regulations, and utilities, to determine if the property can be used for religious purposes. Additionally, gain a clear un - derstanding of what it will cost to convert the building into a suitable church.
