CHURCH PROPERTIES BOARD

The District Church Properties Board (DCPB) is designed to help the Churches on the Virginia District walk through important steps related to the purchase, sale and lease of land, the construction of facilities, and the financing of properties.

All local churches work together with the DCPB to secure important approvals that correspond with the polity found in our Manual.

Churches require district approval (and sometimes congregational approval) for these important milestones:

Lease/Purchase/Sale of Land
Construction of Facilities
Financing of Properties (mortgages, loans, etc)

Regardless of the circumstances every pastor and local church are encouraged to reach out to the District Superintendent as soon as possible to consult regarding important steps for district approval.

The DCPB counts it a privilege to partner with our district’s churches in these important endeavors.
