For two years, Harvest Palos has been searching for a new home. Our future facility team worked tirelessly, following up on nearly a hundred properties around the region. About a month ago, we heard of a church building that was listed for sale. We did not expect to find a church building that could meet our needs, so this was a pleasant surprise. There are many benefits to purchasing an existing church. Zoning isn't a problem, code compliance is easier, you can move in without much construction, and it just "feels" like a church should feel. After several weeks of negotiations with the seller, Harvest Palos signed a contract to purchase this building. The address is 6600 W. 127th Street in Palos Heights. It is being sold by Life Church of Chicago. Here are pictures of the building:
Here is a timetable for the next few months:
December-we will conduct inspections, surveys, appraisals, etc.
January-we will offer several opportunities for the congregation to tour the building and provide feedback. We will also present a financial goal to help make the vision a reality.
February-we aim to close on the building, take care of preliminary repairs and updates, and then move in.
March-we aim to have our first Sunday services in the new building.
More information is available at Harvest Palos on Sunday mornings. Stop by our welcome table to find out how you can get involved in the exciting opportunity!
