Former Argonia Baptist Church Property Heads to Auction in May

A unique opportunity to acquire a historic church building and contents will be available when Theurer Auction & Realty conducts two separate online auctions for the former Argonia Baptist Church property on Tuesday, May 12, 2026.

Building and Real Estate Auction

The real estate portion begins at 11:00 AM and features the former Argonia Baptist Church building located at 201 W Garfield in Argonia, Kansas. The property includes a substantial 4,230 square foot building with a large sanctuary, small office, and restrooms on the main level, plus a full basement.

The basement offers significant additional space with a concrete floor, a large newly remodeled kitchen, and two restrooms. The property sits on an impressive large corner lot measuring 150x100 feet, with an additional vacant adjacent lot measuring 92x140 feet included in the sale.

Multi-Use Potential

The listing emphasizes the building's versatility as a multi-use structure, making it suitable for various purposes beyond its original church function. With its combination of main level and basement spaces totaling over 4,200 square feet, the property could serve community organizations, businesses, or be converted for other commercial or residential uses.

Contents Auction

Later the same day at 1:00 PM, a separate online auction will offer the church's contents. Items up for bid include appliances, furniture, a piano, organs, dishes, and pans—all formerly belonging to the Argonia Baptist Church.

Bidding Information

Both auctions will be conducted online only through Theurer Auction & Realty. Interested bidders can find additional information and register to bid at Theurer.net or by calling 620-326-7315. The auction company is located at 1101 East 16th Street in Wellington, Kansas 67152.

The dual auction format allows buyers to bid on the real estate separately from the contents, providing flexibility for those interested in the property alone or collectors seeking church furnishings and equipment.
