The property, which ironically is the same church building that they had moved from nearly six year ago, is located only about four miles from their previous location on Telegraph road in St. Louis. Their first Sunday did not go on without some challenges as the power grid for their area went out on Sunday morning. However, they held services anyway with the natural light that came through the windows. Over 100 were there!
