Sacred Spaces Conservancy

In a city where houses of worship are vanishing, Sacred Spaces Conservancy works with congregations to find collaborative solutions to preserve these vital spaces of neighborhood life for generations to come.

Sacred Spaces Conservancy partners with congregations as they consider their long-term presence in the city, finding solutions that will preserve houses of worship to benefit all people for generations to come. Headquartered in Washington, DC, we work with partners in the DMV to build stronger neighborhoods anchored by sacred spaces.

At Sacred Spaces, we champion creative options, rich relationships, thriving spiritual life, gathering spaces for all and a future informed by our past. This means learning about- and talking regularly about- the faithful service of religious congregations throughout the history of our city. These acts of faithfulness are fundamentally important to the understanding, engagement and honoring of the current and future communities in our neighborhoods.
