Sandy Springs United Methodist Church announced plans to demolish its primary church campus to create space for a reimagined place of worship.

Sandy Springs UMC will demolish its campus at 86 Mount Vernon Hwy., which includes a large sanctuary, fellowship hall, classrooms, and business office. According to a news release, the new campus will be built on this site.

The church, which has offered ministry for more than 150 years, sold its nearby activity center on Aug. 1. The activity center property will be redeveloped as Hillcrest, a mixed-use residential and retail space.
