Thousands of church properties worth billions of dollars are being sold or repurposed each year. Nothing can stop the currents of change. But congregations and cities can take steps now to ensure a legacy directed toward communal good rather than private interests.

In Gone for Good?, Mark Elsdon marshals a diverse team of authors, including pastors, scholars, developers, and urban planners to explore the spiritual and practical aspects of church property transition. Congregations and cities can take steps now to ensure a legacy directed towards communal good rather than private interests.

Join the Congregational Library and Archives for this virtual program, featuring Mark and three contributors to Gone for Good? who will focus on how to assess the impacts of churches on their neighborhoods—and the gaps they will leave behind, the primacy of mission in any conversation about church property, transforming ministry in rural churches, and much more.
