Scenario

When small congregations face the decision to close

Our small church is dying - we're down to twelve regular members and the building needs major repairs we can't afford and half of us want to let it go gracefully while half want to fight to save it. The conversations keep turning into arguments about faith and commitment and legacy and none of us know how to discern what God actually wants us to do.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The death of a sacred community forces its members to distinguish between clinging to form and honoring essence.
