Tangerasa church in Sweden has been hosting "Summer Church in Tangerasa" since 2011 to engage visitors through guided tours, worship services, concerts, and a cafe. Over the past three summer seasons, about 70 parish members have participated and over 1100 visitors have come each year, more than ever before. This has led to a growing interest in the church's 700-year cultural heritage and helped strengthen the local community. The success is attributed to the knowledge, devotion, and cooperation of those involved. Visitors are welcomed to experience Summer Church at Tangerasa next summer.
