Churches Stand Out as a Unique Positive in Construction

Declining Church Attendance: Despite a long-term decline in church attendance, there is a surprising increase in the construction of new churches and places of worship.

Wake Church in Conroe: In Conroe, Texas, Pastor Josh Gosney and his wife repurposed a closed Kroger supermarket to establish their Wake Church, which opened last year.

Community Integration: The new church also includes rental spaces for a coffee shop and a children's play area, demonstrating an effort to integrate community services with religious activities.

Growth in Fast-Growing Areas: The trend of building new churches appears to be particularly pronounced in rapidly growing areas like Conroe, indicating a shift in how communities are approaching faith and worship spaces.
