Buildings of wood and stone do not a church make.
If said church building were in Detroit, and NBPP wanted to set up an enclave, would you want to remove your vacant building from their midst?
Seems weird to me.
The building's location in a nearly-dead North Dakota community with about two dozen people (the mayor's current estimate, somewhat larger than the 2010 census number) makes church planting in that community unrealistic.
However, it also makes buying the building quite realistic, from a financial perspective — the cost will be very minimal and the main expense would be disassembling and transporting the building.
I've seen historical societies do a lot of work to preserve secular structures with quite a bit less significance, and I hope somebody steps up to do something with what remains of this church building.
