Landlord's Foreclosure Drives Church Congregation Onto Streets; Hold Xmas Services In Parking Lot

In Phoenix, Arizona, KNXV-TV Channel 15 reports:
  • A congregation said they were just locked out of their Valley church four days before Christmas. Their Christmas tree was up and the toys were still inside. Members of the Destiny Center International Church told ABC15 that since their landlord lost the church in a foreclosure, they consequently were kicked out.

  • We decided we’re gonna stick it out,” he said. Service will carry-on, just in the parking lot. On Friday, Lephiew said the now banked-owned property allowed members to remove all of their belongings from the building near 35th and Northern Avenues. Everything that was once inside the church is now sitting inside a storage POD outside of it.
