Some churches have moved out of their worship centers to another space such as a fellowship hall or a gym. Mark and Thom provide guidance on what to do with the sanctuary space you are no longer using.
- Take the opportunity to do a thorough evaluation of the physical condition of the sanctuary building.
- Welcome another church to use the space.
- Turn it into a community center.
- Check its viability for small groups.
- Partner with a non-profit organization.
