Church plans new building amid relocation efforts
Dunn outlined a $410,000 plan for a future church site after selling the current Massachusets Street property for about $500,000. A loan will likely cover the rest as Victory Bible Church shares the current building with Nazarenes until the 1999 completion. The move follows years of study, including a 1996 consulting review that led to relocation despite a difficult decision. The housing growth nearby influenced the shift, with expectations of denser development ahead.
