Guideline Leaflet L07: Church Closure
Members who are facing the potential closure of a church need support and encouragement. Of primary importance is the pastoral care of the remaining members and the concern to make sure that they find a new spiritual home. Closely behind that is the need to deal correctly with all property, trust and legal matters and this leaflet will help with these issues.
