Our Clients: Churches

---

Churches and religious organizations are frequently approached by wireless carriers for new lease agreements and site installations. These leases can be highly technical and often contain terms that undervalue the property, create long-term limitations, or shift liability back to the church.

At SCM Advisors, we act as an independent advocate for churches, ensuring that wireless leases provide fair market revenue along with comprehensive protections for the property and congregation.

Supporting Churches in Wireless Lease Negotiations

Common risks in wireless lease contracts include:

• Below-market rent offers that do not reflect the site’s true value
• Upgrades classified under Section 6409 as minor modifications, limiting reviews and fees
• Lease language that may leave the church responsible for RF exposure, equipment damage, or zoning disputes
• Unauthorized equipment expansions that reduce usable space or create safety concerns
   

SCM Advisors addresses these risks by applying RF engineering, FCC compliance oversight, and lease negotiation expertise to help ensure every contract is enforceable, compliant, and financially sound.

Delivering Value to Religious Organizations

For churches and faith-based institutions, SCM Advisors provides:

• Revenue growth strategies that often exceed initial carrier offers
• FCC compliance reviews to confirm all installations meet safety standards
• Use permit and zoning enforcement to ensure carriers operate within agreed parameters
• Liability protections through carefully structured indemnification clauses
• Structural assessments and field surveys to verify safety and equipment inventory before amendments or lease extensions
