Ferrisburgh to buy church as congregation dwindles
THE TOWN OF Ferrisburgh is set to accept ownership of the Ferrisburgh Center Methodist Church, which sits next to the town’s Route 7 office building. The church, which like many is faced with a dwindling congregation, was deconsecrated on Dec. 17 to allow the transfer. Church Pastor Paul Hoffman said congregants are happy the historic building can be repurposed for the public good.
