CEO’s Blog
Hi,
Welcome to Joel’s blog. My blog gives you a sneak peek into Prop Corp operations and our upcoming plans. It provides a less formal space in which I can share my thoughts and responses to current and emerging issues around the Churches of Christ in Victoria and Tasmania.
Prop Corp services the “business” side of church life. Modern church operations typically range across property, finance, legal, employment, insurance and risk management. This gives us a lot to talk about!
We are also keen to hear your feedback on Prop Corp. Feel free to use this blog as a forum to exchange your thoughts on our services to Churches of Christ and how we can continue to improve.
I may not be able to respond to all your posts but we will be keeping a close watch on this space and listening to your feed back.
For those who are interested, you can click here to find out more about my background.

100 Years of Service
Prop Corp has been around a long time, in fact almost 100 years depending on how you count it. That’s a lot of history, and like all history, its sometimes worth recounting the past, not just to avoid the threat of repeating it but so we can build positively into the future as well. In ...
Better than a bank
Imagine our disappointment at Prop Corp when we found out we could not market ourselves as a bank. Why would we want to, you might ask. Well, we thought it would help give our Savings Scheme some extra credibility. Not that churches don’t trust us. We have many loyal depositors, both churches and individuals. But ...
