Gone for Good? by Mark Elsdon

Is your church facing the difficult decision to sell property?

Consider using church buildings and land to further the gospel mission. Mark Elsdon, author of>We Aren't Broke: Uncovering Hidden Resources for Mission and Ministry, revisits questions of church resources with a team of pastors, scholars, developers, urban planners, and more. This collection of essays sheds light on how church communities can transform their properties to serve their neighborhoods.

Essays explore spiritual, sociological, and practical aspects of church property transition, including:

- assessing the impacts of churches on their neighborhoods--and the gaps they will leave behind>
- developing church property into affordable housing>
- transforming ministry in rural churches>
- partnering with Indigenous peoples to return land>
- fostering cooperation between congregations, developers, and city planners>
- navigating zoning laws>
- working with foundations and funders>

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. Gone for Good? will be an invaluable guide in navigating these radical shifts in church life and ministry.
