Middle School to Church

Some friends of mine are pastors of a church in Hampton, IA. They have put a bid on the old middle school that sits in the center of town. The bid of $1 may just land them a new church home. How missional and outstanding would that be?! People are comfortable and familiar with the building, the auditorium would still be used by the schools for concerts, it's a win/win transaction for both church and school district, there is a gym, a shop, and so much room for the imagination of God's redemptive work in that place! What a great partnership that will be and a great witness that the Church is FOR and WITH the community!
