**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**
The Church Property Management Handbook gives trustees, staff members, facility leaders, administrators, and volunteers a practical system for caring for church buildings and grounds with greater confidence and consistency. Church property management can feel overwhelming, especially when the responsibility falls to someone who was never trained for the job. Whether you are taking over years of incomplete records or simply trying to create a better way forward, this handbook helps you move from reacting to problems toward organized, long-term stewardship. Inside, you'll learn how to: • Take control of a church property role during the critical first 30 days • Build a clear picture of buildings, grounds, equipment, utilities, and other assets • Identify maintenance priorities before small problems become expensive ones • Create practical preventive and seasonal maintenance routines • Find, evaluate, manage, and document contractors and service providers • Organize warranties, inspections, service histories, facility records, and important documents • Plan repairs and larger projects with clearer priorities and accountability • Prepare for emergencies, safety concerns, insurance issues, and unexpected property damage • Build property knowledge that can be handed successfully to the next person
