Several United Church of Christ congregations are working on options for reusing buildings after their numbers became too small to justify maintaining. Some options include: -In Webster Groves, Mo., Peace United Church of Christ is selling its building. It will soon worship down the street, in the chapel of Eden Theological Seminary, while keeping up its public, justice-oriented mission.-In Cleveland, Archwood United Church of Christ just gave its church and parsonage to a Latinx cultural arts center.
