Once churches have lived their life to the fullest, they sometimes die. Urban decay and the movement of populations have resulted in a lot of churches standing empty. While some churches just get destroyed and their remains are just rubble, some move on to the great beyond. The afterlife, if you will. People have been repurposing churches to fit more modern needs and giving the buildings a second life. Some of the ideas are downright brilliant. Take a look.

I’d definitely be more compelled to go to church if they had laser tag! Waking up on Sunday morning would be a breeze especially if I got tanked at the same church the night before. Share this post if you would like to hang out at a church… but want to get past all the church-y parts.
