Minnesota church closes after 70 years, gives $600,000 to nonprofits and supports housing

St. Mark's United Church of Christ closed after seven decades due to declining membership. The congregation distributed approximately $600,000 among 21 local nonprofits. A substantial gift of $115,000 went to Loaves & Fishes for meal provision. The church property will be redeveloped into affordable housing units for the community. This act ensures the church's legacy continues through support and new homes.
