What is the best way to look for a large space for a church to meet?

Question

My church is located in Brooklyn, NY. The building we meet in now may be sold in the near future. We need to find a new one to lease or buy. We cannot afford this building as it is going for 6-7 million. How can I start initial research without using an agent? Any resources/free listings... A few places I went online require fees/memberships to look on their sites.

Answer 1

Be smart and go to city hall first.  They will tell you exactly where you can and can not open a church.  THen drive to the correct areas and start doing your homework.  Call on every building and ask the person if they have a place for your church.
