Topic: Church Property: A Burden or a Blessing

Church buildings can be both a gift and a challenge, especially for small congregations discerning their future. Join Rev. Joy Fenton-Jones for a time of learning and discussion, as she shares real-world case studies of congregations wrestling with the complex, long-term questions about their buildings. These are not big-budget development projects with quick fixes, but honest, hands-on stories of faith communities doing the hard, hopeful work of imagining what comes next for their sacred spaces. Participants will leave with insights, inspiration, and practical considerations for navigating the “wicked problem” of church buildings in the next generation.
