Market Street Church experienced several decades of declining membership and structural decay to the church facility prior to adopting a simple Living Will, written by lay leaders, which guided its journey to closure. The intent of this study is to document Market Street Church's experience with the congregational Living Will as a means of presenting an intentional and collaborative approach to significant church life transitions such as closure. The distinctive context of Interim Ministry is also examined and found to be significant for the introduction of a congregational Living Will.
