In this episode of Revitalize and Replant, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss why church buildings still matter in today’s ministry contexts. From fostering community presence to supporting worship gatherings, they explore how physical church spaces can serve both congregations and their neighborhoods—especially in under-resourced communities.

In this episode, you’ll learn three key reasons church buildings still matter:

Every community needs a sacred space : why visible, physical churches remain a powerful gospel witness in local neighborhoods
A place for the corporate gathering: how church buildings support biblical worship, preaching, ordinances, and discipleship
A central space for under-resourced communities: the role church facilities play in serving practical needs and strengthening community life

This conversation is especially helpful for church planters, revitalization pastors, and church leaders thinking strategically about facilities, mission, and long-term ministry impact.
