In the New Testament, Jesus says that wherever two or three are gathered in His name, He is present among them. But even though Christians can experience communion anywhere, it is important to have a formal meeting space for regular services. The type of lease you have also affects the types of payments you need to make. For example, Triple Net Leases, as offered by TripleNet Gateway, must pay the tenant for property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance. If you know exactly what the terms of your lease are, you can avoid hidden costs. Please contact Todd Rubiano, who handles real estate affairs with the Standing Committee, to obtain and verify the assistance of these documents before joining the Permanent Community. He will support you and plan the meeting with the standing committee. The terms of the lease are not the only costs you have. It is important to specify what type of insurance you need and how much coverage you need to buy.
Remember that insurance fees affect your monthly payment. But a physical place isn`t all you need. You should also make sure that you build your online presence through an ecclesiastical site to help people find your community. The canons of our Church demand that we do not incriminate property without the agreement of the Standing Committee. These rules exist to protect all those who participate in the service of your churches. A lease is a burden. If the organization uses your facilities for more than a year, you should have a lease with the organization. You may or may not get a refund or rent for the use of the church spaces.
We assume that you enter into a lease with the organization that will use the contract below. If the organization(s) is currently using your space and has been working for more than a year, you do not need to obtain permission from the Standing Committee. However, you may wish that we check. If you plan to have a new organization use your space for more than a year, please bring your proposed lease agreement to the Standing Committee prior to signing. For example, some types of lease agreements include additional services such as concierge staff and repairs. Different types of leases also have different fees, including top-up fees and fee percentages. When working on rental contracts, many churches forget to take parking into account. It is important that your municipality is able to provide reliable parking for your community. Make sure the rental agreement states who will maintain the parking lot. If you live in a cold climate, the treaty should determine who is responsible for snow removal. The church may or may not get a refund for the use of the facilities. The Standing Committee has collaborated with several churches and developed leases and user agreements that help describe who and how the Church is used.
What for? We do this to ensure that the Church and the organization understand their mutual responsibilities while using your space.
