A Baptist church in East Texas saw its Assembly of God neighbors outgrowing their building… while their own congregation was carrying more space than they needed.
So instead of competing, Southside Baptist Church and Faith Assembly of God swapped buildings.
No money changed hands. Both churches agreed. And after the move, both congregations reportedly grew by about 30%!
