We got a Church building
The Lord blessed us with the Church building that we wanted! It's an old Church building at 900 Knoxville Ave, Athens, TN 37303 for $200 a month!
This is the first Church I played guitar in, the Church my mother went to when she was a baby (1950), the first Church I can remember going to, the first Church my late Pastor preached in, and the Church he and his wife got the Holy Ghost in. It came with the piano that his wife gave to the Church when she was a child (they had no room for it), and it still has a ceiling can that I bought for it 23 years ago.
Unfortunately we were never able to attend for long because it had anything from trinitarians to homosexuals behind the pulpit (and most recently wasn't an Apostolic Church).
It was prison gray. I wanted blue :-) 20160317_213610.jpg

Re: We got a Church building
Congratulations on the building! I have actually been to both Athens and Sweetwater before.

Yes! $200 per month and it included the padded pews, organ, piano, platform, a pulpit that I didn't like (I used my own), and ceiling fans. I added a small water heater, repaired and painted the walls, fixed the windows behind the pulpit, and all of the decorations. It also has a fellowship room, class room, and office.

That is slightly better than the $30,000 or so we pay per month for leasing our building!

I'll bet it's nice! I'll also bet you have more people than we do. We have about a dozen (but just getting started). Do you have pics or a website?
