Churches face constant financial pressure, from maintaining historic structures and ensuring accessibility, to supporting vital youth work and community outreach programmes. But funding doesn’t have to be stressful - you may already have a solution on-site.

For these core missions to thrive, income must be reliable and sustainable. But what if the next fundraising drive didn't involve a complex application or a huge event? What if the solution was already paved and ready?

Crucially, this revenue stream requires no upfront costs and no new infrastructure.

For many church leaders, the answer lies in their car park. This existing asset, typically underused outside of peak times, can be transformed into a dependable source of revenue, funding the mission without placing an extra burden on staff or volunteers.

Reliable, Sustainable Revenue from Your Existing Car Park

A significant number of churches benefit from a prime geographical location, often near city centres, transport hubs, event venues, or commercial districts. While these locations are a blessing for outreach, they can also be a hidden financial asset.

Instead of seeing those empty spaces outside of service times as a blank canvas of concrete, leaders are realising they represent an opportunity for genuine financial monetisation.

Partnering with JustPark turns those idle spaces into a reliable income source. As an accredited supplier for Parish Buying, we are a trusted partner in delivering steady income streams.

It is pure value extracted from an existing property asset. By joining JustPark’s network of over 15 million drivers, your spaces gain instant visibility and access to a high-demand market, ensuring your car park occupancy is maximised.

Simplify the Decision: It’s straightforward - empty spaces cannot generate anything. Shared spaces generate funding for your mission - with zero upfront cost and zero additional admin. To explore this, learn more about JustPark’s platform.

Designed for Simplicity and Low-Admin Management

We understand that time, resources, and administrative capacity are always stretched thin within church operations. Committees and facilities managers need solutions that simplify, not complicate, their lives. This is where modern parking management removes historical objections.

JustPark provides a complete, automated system with exceptionally low administration. Say goodbye to outdated paper permits, complicated spreadsheets, or the hassle of chasing payments. Enjoy hands-off, hassle-free management while retaining control of your spaces: 

• Fully Automated: Booking management, payments, and customer support are handled by JustPark - allowing your team to focus on ministry, not maintenance.

• Complete Control & Flexibility: Maintain control over your car park availability by blocking out times for weekly services, community gathering and specific events, or reserving spaces for parishioners and guests

• 24/7 Support: For wardens and managers seeking simplicity, JustPark's automated access control and support provides drivers 24/7 support and account management, ensuring minimal involvement from the church staff.

• No Hidden Costs: No disruption to infrastructure, permits, or setup fees required.

Fund Your Mission, Effortlessly

The most compelling aspect of this revenue stream is its ability to directly advance the church’s mission and community work. The funds generated can make a large difference in an organization’s budget.

For example, one city-centre church used revenue to fund essential repairs and community programs. Another church turned its unused car park into revenue needed to fund a new roof. This income can be reinvested into tangible community benefits:

• Accessibility: Installing ramps or lifts to ensure the building is welcoming to all members of the community.

• Upgrades: Improving lighting or heating systems, making the facility safer and more efficient.

• Staffing & Outreach: Growing community programmes, youth activities, or hiring staff to expand pastoral care.

This is a sustainable way to turn a previously dormant asset into an engine for positive change. By facilitating parking, churches are serving the wider public and, in turn, funding the services they offer to their local community.
