Oh, David, sadly I have seen many churches sold over the years, and only two cases I can think of were they sold to another church. Our church a couple years ago, someone stated her goal for our church was simply to NOT be turned into condominiums. That's what is happening to the next church up the street from ours. We don't know yet what will happen to the church across the street and up a bit, but it was closed over a year ago, and its congregation merged with another church. There are former church buildings near us that have been made into a restaurant, office space, and more made into condos - one even into "luxury" condos. It's kinda sad.
