• Some churches have multi-functional buildings which are used in a dual
role for both worship and holding community events.
• Some churches have created space by removing pews to provide
refreshments after worship so that it is more welcoming for members of
the community.
• The church should offer a range of classes or activities for the
community and so creates a greater sense of community spirit.
• Churches could allow local clubs to use their buildings as a place to
bring people together, e.g. youth clubs, dancing and keep fi t classes.
On the other hand:
• A Church is seen as the House of God which has been dedicated to
God and should only be used for worship.
• By events being held in the church there is the danger that furnishings
will be destroyed.
• There are other buildings that can be used rather than the church, examples community centres and parish halls.
