Who Needs Church? is the story of an urban church fighting to keep its doors open despite an aging and dwindling congregation. Members of the church, as well as the broader community, are asked to consider the question, "is the church still a necessary part of our modern lives and community?
The film was excellent, great focus and so well sketched with the visuals and main characters. Such an important story to be told. Congratulations! Julie Ireton
Senior Reporter, CBC
Congratulations on such an awesome movie,
well done. I went with about 8 people from the Anglican Diocese. We all thought the movie related well to the same discussions and considerations for their churches as well.
