A Greater Grand Crossing church would expand its campus and construct a three-story multi-purpose facility through a City-owned land sale proposed to City Council today.

Clustered among several sites near 76th Street and Greenwood Avenue, the two acres of land would be sold to New Life Covenant Oakwood Church for the appraised value of $695,000.

Already possessing numerous properties in the area, the organization would use the land to complete a $48 million campus that includes plans for a 120,000 square foot temple and community center. The structure would include a 5,420-seat nave, media center, café, classrooms, and offices.

The construction of four new parking lots with a total of 656 spaces would also be made possible through the sale.

New Life Covenant Oakwood Church was established in 2003 by Pastor John Hannah. It has been headquartered at 1021 E. 78th St. since 2008.
