In Baltimore where I lived for 14 years there were a number of church closed due to the congregations both dying off and moving out of the city. Some of them were torn down, if no one was interested in the buildings as-is. A few were repurposed as churches for immigrant groups, e.g., a former Lutheran church became an Ethiopian Coptic church. And some became home to secular businesses-- a Catholic church that became a gym, another that became a brew pub (called "The Ministry of Brewing"), and an Episcopalian church that became a nightclub.
