Great News!!!
As of January 24, 2011, Christ Presbyterian Church is out of the real estate ownership business.

On that date a settlement of the Agreement of Sale occurred and Beulah Tabernacle assumed ownership of the buildings.

You may recall that as part of that agreement of sale, our congregation is able of use and occupy the portion of the building that consists of what we are now using – for a period of three years at no additional cost to us.

Over the past year we have made certain adjustments to our way of doing church to accommodate the new arrangement – including the creation of the new church office and pastor’s study.

So, what will we notice different now that the sale has been completed?
Not much.
We will continue our schedule of services in the Chapel every Sunday.
We will continue our Sunday School program.
We will continue the Dorcas group for their regular meetings.
We will continue the office hours for the pastor and church secretary as before.
Various community groups that we have supported in the past will continue to meet in our facilities: the Brownie Troop, and Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous groups.

But, we will no longer by trying to come up with the $74,000 it cost each year just to keep up and maintain the building.
Now, if the heater doesn’t work, or the plumbing backs up, we call the landlord.

Additionally, and this is huge for us, the proceeds of the sale is invested and will provide a constant income for the church to continue in ministry for a long time to come.

So, you need to keep your church in your prayers – as well as those who are leading us.

This settlement was a long time coming and provided for many moments of uncertainty as renegotiations were required to hold the deal together through the course of past 18 months.

A huge weight has been lifted from our shoulders and we can now breath easier as we gain our strength to look forward to the times ahead.
