New Creation Church to Move

By Kirsten Valle, The Charlotte Observer, N.C.

Jun. 27–All the construction along Shopton Road in Steele Creek is pushing out at least one occupant: New Creation Christian Church.

The church sold its two-acre site on Shopton near Sandy Porter Road last fall. It plans to move to a new spot in a safer, residential area in coming months.

Pastor Karen Woods said the site is better suited for industrial development than a church, given the narrow road, business parks and new construction.

The church will probably find a temporary site and then buy land and build a new church in two to three years. For details on New Creation, call 704-504-2890 or visit www.karenwoodsministries.org.
