The former Community Church was once a bustling place. But when the church saw its congregation and funds wane, it closed. The building, which fell into disrepair after being left vacant for years, is poised for a renewal. The city took the title to the 22,872-square-foot building and parking lot in foreclosure and is now looking for someone to redevelop it. Long before Community Church, it was PSP Church. Built in 1875, it soon became one of Trenton's largest and most prestigious congregations. But as its predominantly white members aged and moved to the suburbs, attendance plunged. When the church closed its doors in 1993, it was unclear if the spacious sanctuary would ever again house religious services.
