# Rescue a Church

> A directory of historic churches and other sacred buildings to buy, adopt or support.

Read each record's Sources section for dates, restrictions and currentness. Historical records are labeled; their needs and participation remain unconfirmed. Photos may show past conditions. Map pins are approximate.
