Pastor Jameson Pulelisi has been part of the church for a part of it's 50-year-long history and said that almost everyone is excited by the new possibilities.

"Everyone's pretty excited about it, it's been kind of a long term vision that's been waiting to happen for us," Mr Pulelisi said.

"This year, especially for the Church members who are using the building, they're really excited about the big sale."

The building is currently used as a meeting ground for the church and other community groups, but there's no telling what the new owners will do once it's sold.

"Basically, it's currently used for some of our community, they use the building as a meeting point," Mr Pulelisi said.

"We have the local car club and a community group who do sewing there as well, our church members use it for worship services, we run our food pantry there sometimes."

While the church hasn't laid out concrete plans for what's next, Mr Pulelisi says the decision to sell the property was motivated by a need to keep expanding and setting new goals.

"In terms of the building itself, we're just hoping to see that it goes into some good hands and it finds it's way to someone who will make good use of it," Mr Pulelisi said.

"The reason why we've decided that we're selling it is that we really want to be more community focused, this building kind of limits us in terms of growth and our relationship with the community and even the growth of our own relationship with god."

"We've decided to step out on faith, I suppose, and dream big and go bigger in terms of what's best for our mission here in town and what's best for our community."

Faith will be the driving force behind what the church, and congregation attempt next, and it's not something that's in short supply, although Mr Pulelisi admits it's a little nerve-wracking to be making such a big move.

"It's a little scary as well because we don't know what the next is or what it'll be for us, even what it's going to look like, but we do know there's areas in need for our community and we want to keep growing and keep building relationships out there," Mr Pulelisi said.

The congregation at the church have already shown an ability to adapt to whatever life throws their way, with many members recently taking their religion online and participating in zoom calls in order to keep observing the sabbath during COVID lockdown.

The church will be on the market until November 24, when expressions of interest are set to close, with a number of possibilities open to whoever ends up purchasing it, including the space continuing as a place of worship, or becoming a community hall or other suitable outlets.
