Real-Estate
This property consists of 1.5+ acres of land. The church’s sanctuary measures 36’x45’, vestibule w/storage, baptistry, 2 bathrooms and a 26’x36’ addition w/kitchen area. The church has a 4-Ton 92% efficient central air and heating unit added in 2004. There is a 20’ ingress/egress easement running down the West side of property for cemetery access. This would be a great opportunity for a new church plant, community center or business front.
