I am a member of the First Presbyterian Church here in Seattle. This is a historical church that was formed before Washington became a state. Our pastor, elders, and congregation became disgusted with the conduct of Presbyterian Churches USA and voted unanimously to depart from that domination. A lawsuit ensued over the property rights of the building. We lost the suit and now have a court order to vacate the premises. So, now we have a congregation that has no place to worship God. This is quite sad as we have many older people that have worshipped here all their life and have tithed large sums of money in their life as members, now being kicked out of their place of worship. Pray for us, that we may survive and find a place to worship.

Your God will go with you even if you end up renting space in a gymnasium or the like.

This would be an excellent chance to teach that it isn’t about the physical building. If the now-corrupt mother organization wants the building — give it to them. Rotsa ruck to them finding a use for it.

Look at it a the Children of Isreal leaving for the promised land.

You will find a place. The place isn’t important. As I heard a priest say a long time ago, “I can say Mass over a beer barrel.”

The Church is the body of believers in Christ. So wherever you worship, He will be there. Praise G_d that you follow Him, rather than the dictates of man.

I am saying a prayer for you and your congregation.

Sometimes, when you “do the right thing”, the immediate result is painful. (I am experiencing that kind of thing right now).

However:

“Weeping may endure for the night,
But Joy comes in the morning”

My own little church got thrown out of four places in two years.

Worship doesn't require a place, after all. If you tithed to God, it is His problem with the leadership to sort out.

But if you need a place...

Rent a place. Movie theater, former car dealership, school, etc.

It's just a building...Means nothing to God...If you want a building to worship God in, he'll provide one...Just make sure you don't take the name of that ungodly religion you are leaving...
