The congregation *always* has somewhere to go, unless they're more attached to the property than anything else.
I've been a member of two congregations that have gone from "church-in-a-box" to established, mortgage-free, Churches With Buildings. Property is nice, but it's not the end-all be-all. A parish whose existence is centered on its property is a parish with a problem...
But beyond the property, a question: You talk about "send their money to Muslims" (implied: waste). Are you opposed to outreach and evangelism programs? Do you think Muslims are unable to hear the Gospel?
Right, let's just hold communion in a cardboard box under a bridge. Property...we don't need no stinkin' property.

Rather than implying it, let me say it directly: Sending money to Muslims is a waste. As for Muslims hearing the Gospel, you might want to ask some Orthodox Christians or Coptic Christians who have been suffering under those sensitve Muslims for 14 centuries about how Muslims hear and respond so wonderfully to the Gospel.
