Church Seeks New Life in Historic Goose Creek Store
A Crosby couple plans to open a church in a 22,500 square foot Goose Creek building long operated by the Wilkenfeld family since the 1920s. The project preserves a historic site once run as a furniture and jewelry store and a Jewish synagogue in the 1930s and 40s. Church services will start Sundays with a future dedication featuring guest speakers.
