Rural churches all over the State of Kansas are in danger of disappearing. With smaller rural communities finding it harder and harder to keep their incoming revenue sustainable the upkeep of church buildings has become harder to maintain.
In addition these communities are losing population faster than they can repopulate leaving congregations to die out and unable to fill the space within these buildings. Some have been able to be reimagined as event venues or private residences!
