We were able to record 4 out of the 6 workshops that we did and are making the recordings available below. If you are a member church with the Bridges Bay Area Association then you have access to a FREE consult with DCG where they will sit down to assess your individual situation and advise you of the best next steps. Please enjoy the content and reach out to us with any questions.
Founder Landis Grayden shares with us who DCG is and what they exist to do. We also go through 3 extremely powerful case studies to illustrate the do's and don't's of property stewardship.
Megan Maciver from DCG Strategies led a workshop on real estate development for church-owned land, focusing on feasibility, key terms, and the development process. The discussion covered various aspects of property development, including zoning, funding, and risk mitigation, while also addressing specific concerns and potential projects from attendees. The workshop concluded with a conversation about alternative housing solutions and the current state of the real estate market, with plans for a future session on selecting partners and understanding responsibilities in development projects.
The team discussed the process of aggregating data from various sources, including the commercial version of Zillow. They also emphasized the importance of careful lease negotiation for churches, understanding property sales, and sharing content on demand to help churches make informed decisions.
This workshop, part of a real estate series for Christian communities, focused on mastering deferred maintenance and upkeep of church properties to ensure mission sustainability. The discussion covered three levels of maintenance, including routine, seasonal, and long-term capital planning, as well as strategies for property management and the importance of professional assessments. The session concluded with an invitation for follow-up meetings and offers of support for real estate-related questions from church communities.
