Redevelopment As Repair
The church must acknowledge the way it has hurt marginalized communities, and invest in fixing that harm. That repair does not happen through lip service, or empty platitudes, or apologies from denominational officials (cheap grace which costs nothing), but from real people in real communities who sacrifice their buildings and institutional assets for the sake of mission.
Our Small Church Building Sustains Itself on 200 Community Reservations a Month – Here’s How We Did It
Four years later, our building has 200 reservations a month, with thousands of people passing through our doors. Documentary showings, protest rallies, 12-step groups, mutual aid circles, and free meals fill our building from sun up to sundown–all of them values-aligned, community-benefitting events that create real Gospel impact, whether or not they are explicitly faith-based.
