Revitalizing historic church buildings for the surrounding community.

Engage. Fund. Sustain.

We believe churches are important for the health of their communities and their building represent an underutilized asset that can be unleashed to engage, fund, and sustain their mission.  We come alongside existing churches to help them more sustainably serve their community, and we acquire empty church buildings primed for revitalization.

Shalom animates everything we do

It is our desire to see every community thrive and experience shalom. We believe the local church is the God-ordained means to bring shalom, and it is our passion to unleash the potential of church buildings to serve their surrounding communities.

The New Church Commons Approach

As we seek to revitalize historic church buildings, we are looking for ways to use the campuses to love and serve the surrounding community. The assets of each community and campus vary and the needs of each community differ but with a little listening, some discernment, and hard work something beautiful can happen. We study each community's assets and needs using the Thriving Cities endowments (Truth, Beauty, Goodness, Justice, Sustainability, and Prosperity) and work with the assets to address the most pressing needs.
