Many church buildings sit empty for a good portion of the week. What are the pros and cons of sharing the campus with other non-profits? Josh and Sam discuss some items to consider before opening your doors to other groups, churches, and ministries.

• • Part of being a good neighbor is hospitality.
  • Sharing the campus can potentially increase community impact and the church’s reputation.
  • Doctrinal alignment is an important part of the decision.
  • Consider the tax implications of charging rent.
  • Formal MoUs or lease agreements are a must.
  • Be aware of legal and insurance issues.
