Church Property: Inspired Purpose, Faithful Future

Hosted by Cyclical INC

Join us for a live conversation exploring faithful and innovative approaches to church property stewardship. Together, we’ll look beyond the building itself to consider how property, redevelopment, sales, and the funds generated through those decisions can become catalysts for new ecosystems, spiritual experiments, and faithful innovation.

Nick Warnes will lead the conversation, asking practical questions and guiding a panel of experienced judicatory and church leaders as they share what they are learning in their own contexts.

Joining us:

Drew Peterson, Land Stewardship Guide for the Presbytery of the Inland Northwest, lead pastor in Spokane, Washington, and a leader in community revitalization initiatives including the West Central Community Connector.

Chris Adams, Head of Cyclical Church Property, who will share insight into navigating church property sales and helping leaders discern the possibilities and responsibilities that come with these significant decisions.

Juan Sarmiento, Executive Presbyter of the San Fernando Presbytery, who brings strategic and pastoral insight into how judicatories can generate new ecosystems and spiritual experiments following the closure or sale of church property.

Albert Hung, Superintendent of the Northern California District of the Church of the Nazarene, who leads roughly 90 congregations and brings experience in innovative ministry, community engagement, and leadership development—including exploring what new ministry possibilities can emerge when traditional church property is no longer at the center of the work.

What you’ll gain from this webinar:

• New ways to think about church property as an asset for faithful innovation and community impact
• Insight into the opportunities and challenges surrounding redevelopment and church property sales
• Practical ideas for stewarding proceeds from property sales in ways that can support new ministries, ecosystems, and spiritual experiments
• Perspectives from judicatory leaders who are navigating these questions in real time
• Questions and frameworks to help your judicatory discern its own next faithful step

The future of church property is about more than deciding what happens to a building. It is an opportunity to ask what God might be creating next.
