Abandoned Church in Illinois - The "Walmart" Church

Not sure when this church closed but I have found photos from over 3 years ago with the church being empty. The architecture, colors, and details were impressive. Hopefully its not too late for this beautiful abandoned church to be saved. As always I will not disclose the location to prevent any damage.

Beautiful church.

[@chrisl62583]

Curious if you have or use protective gear when you go into these abandoned buildings... respirator mask, gloves, etc. (For exposure to asbestos, mold, lead paint, animal droppings... like in this video, lol.) You could develop health problems down the road, just saying.

I believe in some videos you can see them wearing masks with respirators but that’s about all I noticed. Also, seems like they wear full clothing

​@@dangdart3236 I'd be a bit concerned if they were exploring naked 💀

Love this. Are you working on a vlog for the high school you made a ton of TikToks on?

[@thevideocamman5674]

So this was always a church or this was a WALmart after the church?
