The Stewardship Gap

Across the country, 15,000 churches are projected to close this year.

Leaders like you are caught in a painful cycle of maintaining a building designed for a different time while trying to fund ministry for today.

The Silent Sanctuary Dilemma

Your facilities, such as commercial kitchens, classrooms, and fellowship halls, likely sit empty 80% of the week.

These are dormant assets that could be serving your neighbors, yet they currently only consume your budget through utilities and maintenance.

The Funding Trap

When tithes plateau and building costs rise, ministry suffers.

Many leaders feel they have become property managers rather than pastors, forced to cut mission budgets just to keep the lights on and the boiler running.

The Sell-Out Fear

Traditional developers often offer only one solution: a sale that erases your legacy.

Replacing a sanctuary with a retail chain or storage unit strips the community of a spiritual hub. You need a third option that honors your history.

Don’t Just Manage Decline

WRITE a Better Future

New Chapter Ventures provides the capital, training, and mentorship to turn your property into a vibrant engine for community connection and financial freedom.

Witness & Reimagine

We stop guessing and start listening. Through our Placemaking Incubator, we help you uncover the intersection between your assets and your neighbor's actual needs.

Deep Listening: We facilitate the "Curiosity Phase," engaging your neighbors to discover unmet needs—from childcare to workforce housing.
Asset Audit: We identify overlooked spaces (kitchens, parking lots, offices) ripe for activation.
Mission Alignment: We ensure every proposed project strengthens, rather than dilutes, your congregation's theology and calling.

Invest & Train

You don't have to do this alone. We provide the financial modeling and capital required to bridge the gap between vision and reality.

The Cohort Model: Join a community of peers. 8 out of 9 members of our recent cohort have either activated projects or are working towards activation.
Capital Access: We help secure necessary funding to renovate and upgrade facilities without putting the church at unreasonable risk.
Operational Coaching: We equip your team with the skills to manage partnerships, guiding volunteers into capable community developers. This includes 1:1 coaching for your pastoral leader.

Trust & Embody

Move from survival mode to sustainable impact. Create recurring revenue that funds your ministry while restoring the church as the center of community life.

Financial Sustainability: Generate monthly recurring revenue to address deferred maintenance and fund new ministries.
Community Vitality: Whether it’s a Montessori school, a shared kitchen, or affordable housing, your building becomes a place of daily blessing.
Legacy Preservation: The nature of how assets are utilized will expand and grow as you partner with the neighbors, ensuring the church remains a lighthouse in the neighborhood for decades to come.
