Partner Renato Matos and Associate Jodi Warren will present at a webinar titled “Mission Driven Development” on October 9th at 7 p.m. The webinar will be hosted by Practical Resources for Churches (PRC).
As churches struggle with shrinking congregations and increasing operating and capital expenses, many congregations have looked to redeveloping their valuable real estate assets to ensure their long-term viability. This lecture will discuss the steps to a successful redevelopment project from preparing a mission plan through the construction process and beyond, including an in-depth look at various options and deal structures available to churches. It will also cover church best practices as well as how to avoid common pitfalls.
