Hi Jennifer, I am a chaplain / and coworking space owner, so I am familiar with but areas!
- I am not familiar with you first point, I have read about groups of people leaving a coworking space and starting their own thing either because the space closed or because a disagreement with the management. I am not sure this is the type of seeding you are looking for. Some of the other veteran space owners may be able to speak to thos. - As to your second point, I was looking at the costs associated with the church that I attend, and you are correct most of the space goes unused throughout the week. I don't see why a pastor would not let an organization use their facilities if they are respectful of others that are in the space This is a coworking space / chuurc in New York. - http://stlydias.org/ Hope that helps!
